Vyacheslav Vidmant, 52, identified as Iranian bomblet fatality in Tel Aviv — Day 28

Vyacheslav Vidmant, 52, was identified as the victim killed by an Iranian bomblet impact in Tel Aviv on the evening of Day 28 (March 27, 2026). He was a security guard employed by the Tel Aviv municipality to secure residential buildings that had been evacuated following a deadly Iranian attack on Day 1 of the conflict, which killed 32-year-old Mary Anne Velasquez de Vera in the same area. Vidmant was not in a bomb shelter at the time of the impact, a pattern common among essential service workers, security personnel, and others who remain in the field during attacks. The bomblet was from an Iranian ballistic missile carrying a cluster munition warhead — the same weapons type that struck a bomb shelter in Petah Tikva on Day 25, and has been used by Iran throughout the conflict. Vidmant's death illustrates the dual compounding risk of cluster munitions: immediate impact on those caught in the open plus residual unexploded submunitions threatening first responders and security personnel in subsequent hours.
