Pakistan has carried out air strikes on neighboring Iran. According to the country, targets of a terrorist organization have been attacked in Iran.
Iranian official told an Iranian news agency that rockets landed near the city of Saravan, about 50 kilometers from the border with Pakistan. Three women and four children are said to have died, all of whom did not have Iranian nationality. According to the Reuters news agency, the attacks were carried out by fighter planes, which returned to Pakistan after the attack.
The Pakistani attack follows Iran’s airstrike on the Pakistani border province of Balochistan on Tuesday evening. According to Pakistan, two children were killed. According to Iran, the Sunni militia Jaish al-Adl was the target at the time.
The separatist movement is active in both Iran and Pakistan. The militia has carried out attacks on Iranian security forces in the past.
Pakistan’s foreign minister on Tuesday called the Iranian attack a gross violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. A ministry spokesman then warned of “serious consequences” and said Pakistan “has the right to respond to this illegal act.”
