The bombing of Kermanshah's park shelter (in Persian: بمباران پناهگاه پارک کرمانشاه)[1][2][3] took place on 16 March 1988.[4] It was carried out by the army of Ba'athist Iraq against the shelter of "Shirin park of Kermanshah".[3]
Iraq also bombed the other localities of the city as well as the shelter of Shirin Park by air-to-ground missile, but the bombing of "Shirin Park Shelter" is considered the most critical locality.[5][6] According to Iranian media, 76 persons --mostly women/children-- were killed and more than 200 persons were injured as a result of the bombings.[3] There is a book by the name of "Panahgah-e Bi-Panah" (Shelterless Shelter) (Persian: پناهگاه بی پناه), written by Mahnaz Fattahi;[7][8][9] which has highlighted the survivors memories of the Kermanshah's Shirin park shelter bombing.[10][11][12]
