More than 70 women and children have been killed in three Israeli strikes against Iran, the latter's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, said.

"The Israeli aggressor regime pretends that its strikes are carried out precisely and are not directed at residential areas [of Iran], but the truth is different. More than 70 women and children have been killed in three strikes alone," Baghaei said.

He added that ten children were still trapped under the rubble of a building in the Chamran region.
