Pakistan. Iranian missiles and drones strike Pakistan. Iran said it used “precision missile and drone strikes” to destroy two strongholds of the Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl, known in Iran as Jaish al-Dhulm, in the Koh-e-Sabz area of southwestern Pakistan’s Balochistan province. The statement was issued to the Iranian state-aligned Tasnim news agency. Pakistan strongly condemned the Iranian airstrike within its borders that killed two children, calling it an “unprovoked violation of its airspace” and warning of retaliation. The attack comes hours after Iran launched missiles into northern Iraq (Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan) and Syria, in the latest escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, where Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza threatens to escalate into a broader regional conflict.
