IRGC kills six 'terrorists' discovered with explosive packages in southeastern Iran - report
Human rights group Haalvsh, which monitors Sistan-Baluchistan, said fighting between military and security forces and armed individuals had started on Thursday morning.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards killed six members of a terrorist group on Thursday, according to the IRNA state news agency. The incident occurred in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province in southeastern Iran, a region frequently plagued by clashes between security forces and armed groups. The province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, is a significant drug trafficking route.
IRNA reported that security forces had discovered and confiscated explosive packages, but did not provide the names of the six individuals killed or additional details about the incident. Tehran has accused some armed groups of having ties to foreign powers and involvement in cross-border smuggling. A human rights group, Haalvsh, which monitors Sistan-Baluchistan, stated that fighting between military and security forces and armed individuals had begun on Thursday morning.
Additionally, the sound of an explosion was reported in Zahedan on Wednesday without causing any damage, as per Fars news agency. These reports come as Iran considers a US response to its proposal to revive the collapsed ceasefire in the Gulf and prepares for the potential resumption of large-scale US military attacks following 7 months of conflict that began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.
