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 Revolutionary Guards in Iran have reportedly killed six members of a terrorist group in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province, on Thursday. The incident occurred in a region frequently experiencing clashes between security forces and armed groups, including Sunni militants and separatists. The area is known for being a major drug trafficking route and borders Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Revolutionary Guards had discovered and confiscated explosive packages, but the report did not provide further details about the six individuals killed or the identity of the terrorist group. Human rights group Haalvsh reported that fighting between military and security forces and armed individuals had started in the region on Thursday morning.
Additionally, an explosion was heard in Zahedan on Wednesday, though it did not cause any damage, according to Fars news agency. These events come as Iran considers a US response to its proposal to revive the collapsed ceasefire in the Gulf and prepares for a potential resumption of large-scale US military attacks after a 7-month conflict began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.
