An Iranian colonel was killed on the border of Pakistan

Colonel Hossein Ali Javidanfer of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps was killed as a result of an armed attack by unknown persons on the Zahidan-Kash road in Sist o'n - Baluchistan province .

Colonel Hossein Ali Javidanfer of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ( IRGC ) was killed in an armed attack by unknown persons in the southeast of the country.

According to Iran's state television, Colonel Hossein Ali Javidanfer was killed in an armed attack by unknown persons on the Zahidan-Kash highway in the southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan province.

A large-scale investigation has been launched to identify and arrest the attackers.

Notably, the killing occurred after Iran announced attacks on the camps of the Jaish al-Adl organization, which operates in the same region on the border with Pakistan.

Earlier, the ICRC reported that missile and drone attacks were carried out on Jaish al- Adl camps in Pakistan. Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdullahiyan announced that Jaish al-Adl, which claimed responsibility for the incident that killed 12 security personnel in Iran, had been targeted. He noted that the members of the organization were Iranians, and there were no Pakistani citizens among the victims of the attack.

Earlier, Pakistan decided to recall its ambassador from Tehran in connection with Iran's attack on Pakistan's Baluchistan province.

A day ago, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan strongly condemned the unjustified violation of the country's airspace by Iran. As a result of the attack, it was reported that two children were killed and three more girls were injured.

Such a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty is unacceptable and may have serious consequences, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
