Article Summary

The article reports that US military strikes in southern Iran, using a new 'precision' missile called the PrSM, killed at least 21 civilians, including seven children, in residential areas. It describes how the weapon spreads deadly metal pellets over a wide area, causing harm far beyond the blast zone, and notes that no military targets were hit and no military personnel killed. The piece highlights a discrepancy between the US military's claim of precision and the civilian toll, and questions the justification for using such weapons in populated areas.
