13 killed, including 8 militants, in clashes at two sites in Iran's Sistan and Baluchistan province, targeted by Jaish al-Adl militant group.
13 people, including eight militants and five Iranian security force members, were killed in clashes at two separate locations in Iran's Sistan and Baluchistan province. The fighting occurred overnight when militants targeted a Revolutionary Guard post and a coast guard station. The Iranian news agency IRNA reported six assailants were under siege, holding hostages at the two sites, and blamed the militant group Jaish al-Adl for the attacks. Jaish al-Adl has sought greater rights for the ethnic Baluch minority in the past. The area, which borders Afghanistan and Pakistan, has experienced occasional deadly clashes between militants, armed drug smugglers, and Iranian security forces.
