Islamabad has struck several “terrorist” targets on its neighbor’s soil, according to unconfirmed reports
Pakistan has carried out air strikes on a militant group operating from Iranian territory, an intelligence source in Islamabad told AFP. Multiple blasts were heard near a border region in Iran’s southernmost province on Thursday morning, according to Iranian state media.
“Several explosions” were reported from multiple sites around the city of Saravan early on Thursday morning, an unnamed Iranian official told the state-affiliated IRNA news agency.
An anonymous Pakistani intelligence official acknowledged the air raids, but shared few other details, according to AFP. Meanwhile, the Hindustan Times and other Indian media reported that “Baloch separatist camps situated inside Iranian territory” were targeted in the raids.
The reported military action came soon after Tehran claimed credit for a series of missile and drone strikes on Pakistan’s western Balochistan region, with Tehran’s Foreign Ministry saying it targeted members of Jaish al-Adli, which it labeled a “terrorist group.”
