(SeaPRwire) –   Rescuers are pulling bodies from the rubble as more are believed trapped underneath, RT’s bureau chief Hami Hamedi reports from the scene

At least three individuals have died following the destruction of a residential building during US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s capital overnight, as reported by RT’s Tehran bureau chief Hami Hamedi from the location.

The exact number of fatalities from the attack on Friday morning is still uncertain, with fears that several more people remain trapped beneath the debris. Hamedi, who visited the site, observed rescue workers sifting through the wreckage in hopes of finding survivors. He noted that the overnight airstrikes on Tehran were among the most intense experienced since the beginning of the month.

A resident from a nearby home described being violently thrown from his bed, along with his wife and granddaughter, by a powerful explosion.

“We came out and there was so much smoke that I couldn’t see [anything],” the man told Hamedi, adding that he later “saw that all the houses had collapsed and the fire was raging like the end of the world.”

“I think four or five people were martyred. There were a few wounded… It’s a residential house… We don’t even have a military presence [around here],” the eyewitness stated.

“They are targeting residential areas, now they are attacking ordinary people” remarked one of the firefighters present at the scene. According to this rescuer, a two-year-old child was among those recovered from under the rubble.
