9 Pak labourers shot dead in Iran 1/28/2024 11:23:38 PM Islamabad, Jan 28: Nine Pakistani workers were gunned down and three others were injured by unidentified attackers who opened indiscriminate fire on them in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province near the border with Pakistan on Saturday. Iran’s Mehr news agency reported that “according to witnesses, unknown armed men killed nine non-Iranians in a house in the Sirkan neighbourhood of Saravan city” in Sistan-Baluchestan province. No group or individual immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident, which occurred within a week of the tit-for-tat strikes by Iran and Pakistan in each other’s territories, is likely to add to the tension between the two countries. Tensions escalated between Islamabad and Tehran after Pakistan on January 18 conducted “precision military strikes” against what it called “terrorist hideouts” in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan province that killed 9 people. The attack was seen as retaliation to Iranian missile and drone attacks last Tuesday on two bases of the Sunni Baloch militant group Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan’s unruly Balochistan province.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
