A terrorist attack on a police post in southeastern Iran has killed 11 police forces and injured seven others.
Iranian media report quoting some provincial officials that the attack occurred early on Friday in Rask County in Sistan and Baluchestan province.
The Pakistan-based so-called Jaish-al-Adl terror group claimed responsibility. Iran’s police spokesman General Saeed Montazer-al-Mahdi slammed the “cowardly” and “blind” terror attack in a short statement on Friday morning.
He said that police forces had neutralized several terrorists in the firefight, noting that the situation was fully under control.
The group has conducted several bomb attacks and kidnappings in southeastern Iran targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.
