News - Yemen: The Political Bureau of Ansarullah strongly condemned the criminal bombings that targeted visitors at the shrine of martyr Commander Qassem Soleimani in the Iranian city of Kerman during a ceremony marking his fourth martyrdom anniversary, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries.

In a statement, the Political Bureau extended sincere condolences and sympathy to the leadership, government, and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as to the families of the victims.

It highlighted that this heinous crime is an extension of various attacks aimed at undermining the Islamic Republic, its role against global arrogance, its commitment to the nation's central cause, and its support for resistance forces in Palestine and Lebanon.

The statement expressed confidence in Iran's resilience against all conspiracies, emphasizing that the US and Israel's attempts to destabilize Iran's security would ultimately fail.

Hundreds of people have been killed and injured in two terrorist blasts near the burial site of Iran’s General Qassem Soleimani in the city of Kerman during a ceremony marking his fourth martyrdom anniversary.

Iran’s emergency organization said that the explosions left 103 people dead and 188 more injured.

Medical services said the death toll is expected to rise as ambulances were taking the wounded to hospitals, with Babak Yektaparast, deputy head of Iran's Emergency Organization, saying that some of the injured are in critical condition.

According to IRNA, the first explosion occurred some 700 meters from the grave of General Soleimani and the second one about one kilometer away.

Tasnim news agency cited unnamed sources as saying that two bags loaded with explosives which were remotely detonated caused the explosions. IRNA also quoted an informed source as saying two bombed bags detonated by remote control caused the explosions.
 
Iran’s Red Crescent Society said three rescuers were killed by the second blast.

Some people were injured during a crowd crush following the first explosion. Officials say all the injured have been transferred to hospitals and the situation is under control.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
