Strike hits residential building in Khorramabad — at least one child killed, city blackout

A strike on a residential building in Khorramabad, capital of Lorestan Province in western Iran, killed at least one child and caused a citywide power outage, Iran's state-affiliated Fars news agency reported on Day 24. **Khorramabad** (population ~370,000) is located approximately 480 km southwest of Tehran in the Zagros mountain region. It is not known as a primary military hub, making the residential strike particularly notable. **Context within Day 24 strikes:** The Khorramabad strike falls within a broader overnight and morning Israeli strike package that included: - A wide-scale fresh wave on Tehran regime infrastructure (02:33 UTC) - Fresh strikes on Karaj (Tehran's western suburb, population 1.7M), also reported in the same window - The strike on the IRIB Persian Gulf broadcast centre in Bandar Abbas (04:34 UTC) **Civilian impact:** The confirmed killing of a child in a residential building is among the most significant single civilian casualties of Day 24. Middle East Eye headlined 'Explosions rock Tehran; blackout reported after strike in Khorramabad.' **Iran's response:** Iranian state media has not yet officially attributed the Khorramabad strike to specific forces but context makes US-Israeli attribution clear. Iran's broader posture — total Hormuz closure threat if power plants are struck — remains operative.
