Among the dead was a four-year-old child, Amir-Ali Karimi, and a sixteen-year-old, Mohammad Mollahi. “It’s a terrible thing. I’m extremely worried and upset about what happened – really upset,” Ali Mollahi, the father of the bride, told Mehr News . The deputy of the provincial government, Ahmad Nafisi, said that first responders headed immediately to the scene and transferred the wounded to the hospitals.
