Teheran :- In a swift response to attacks from the Balochi militant group Jaish al Adl, Iranian forces targeted two bases in Pakistan on Tuesday. This action followed a prior assault by Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards on targets in Iraq and Syria the day before.
Jaish al Adl has a history of launching attacks on Iranian security forces in the border region with Pakistan. The Iranian state media reported that the bases, located in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, were hit and destroyed by a combination of missiles and drones. However, specific details of the operation were not disclosed.
Jan Achakzai, the Information Minister of Pakistan’s Balochistan province, refrained from confirming or denying the attack, urging observers to await an official response from ISPR, the Pakistani military’s public relations wing.
Pakistan, acknowledging the incident, expressed its strong disapproval, reporting that two children lost their lives in the missile strikes. The Pakistani government warned of the incident’s potentially “serious consequences,” deeming it “completely unacceptable.”
In an official statement, Pakistan lodged a strong protest with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asserting that the responsibility for the consequences would squarely lie with Iran. The Iranian charge d’affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where Pakistan conveyed its strongest condemnation of what it considered a blatant violation of its sovereignty.
