独立监测机构Airwars的报告指出，美国洛克希德·马丁公司生产的精准打击导弹（PrSM）在2月28日伊朗战争首日对伊朗南部城市拉梅尔德的空袭中，可能在距爆炸点50米外的地区造成平民死亡1。这次空袭共造成至少21名平民死亡，其中包括7名儿童1。
报告详述了导弹的致命机制与具体伤害。一名2岁的女童阿维娜·巴尔扎加尔在自家后院被击中身亡，距离爆炸中心约50米1。PrSM导弹在空中引爆后，向四周发射数万枚钨金属弹丸，造成广泛杀伤1。此外，一所学校距Shahid Naimi体育馆约170米处被毁1。
对此，美国中央司令部予以否认，声称"美军没有在2月28日向拉梅尔德发射PrSM或任何武器"1。然而，前美国陆军律师迈克尔·迈尔表示，"在人口密集地区使用PrSM几乎找不到理由"1。
这款导弹正在全球范围内获得广泛采购。美国五角大楼与洛克希德·马丁签订超过40亿美元的合同以四倍增加PrSM产量1。英国预留1.3亿英镑（1.77亿美元）用于采购1，澳大利亚计划在2025年采购并投资数十亿美元1。
An independent monitoring organization has raised concerns that a US precision strike missile may have caused civilian casualties well beyond its initial blast radius during an airstrike on Iran's southern city of Ramhormouz on February 28, the opening day of the conflict.1 According to Airwars, the Lockheed Martin-produced PrSM (Precision Strike Missile) killed at least 21 civilians, including 7 children, in the attack.1 One documented case involved a 2-year-old girl, Avina Balzagal, who was struck and killed in a backyard approximately 50 meters from the explosion site.1
The PrSM operates by detonating in mid-air and dispersing tens of thousands of tungsten metal pellets in all directions.1 The strike also destroyed a school located roughly 170 meters from the Shahid Naimi sports complex, a reported target.1 However, US Central Command has disputed involvement in the incident, stating that "US forces did not fire PrSM or any other weapons at Ramhormouz on February 28."1 Michael Meyer, a former US Army lawyer, expressed serious reservations about the weapon's use in densely populated areas, remarking that "there is virtually no justification for using PrSM in populated areas."1
The Pentagon has significantly ramped up procurement of the system, signing a contract with Lockheed Martin worth over $4 billion to quadruple PrSM production.1 Britain has allocated £130 million ($177 million) for purchases, and Australia plans to acquire the system in 2025 while investing billions of dollars in related defense capabilities.1
