Two police officers, two border guards, and seven IRGC and Basij volunteer forces were killed in armed clashes with the Jaysh al-Adl terrorist group in the southeastern cities of Rask and Chabahar.
Iran’s Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Police Affairs Majid Mirahmadi said the Jaysh al-Adl terror group’s simultaneous terror attacks were completely foiled due to the alertness of security and law enforcement forces.
The attacks targeted three locations in the cities of Rask and Chabahar on Wednesday night.
Security situation under control
Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, commander of the IRGC Ground Force, said that during the armed clashes between terrorists and security forces, 15 terrorists have been killed so far.
He said that security conditions in Chabahar and Rask are continuing as normal and under control.
The Jaysh al-Adl terror group has conducted a number of similar attacks in the past months, some of them deadly. The group claimed responsibility for an attack in December on a police station in the city of Rask that killed at least 11 police officers. On January 10, another attack by the group on a police station in the same city killed a policeman.
