“At around 6:30 this morning, the vehicle of IRGC’s engineering unit working on the development projects in the province ran into a booby trap,”? Deputy Governor-General of Sistan and Balouchestan province for Political and Security Affairs, Rajabali Sheikhzadeh told on Wednesday.
“Unfortunately, three IRGC personnel have been martyred in the blast,”? he said.
Earlier this month, terrorists attacked a border checkpoint in Southeastern Iran, killing one soldier and injuring 6 people.
“One border guard soldier was killed and 6 others were wounded in the Monday night clashes between the Iranian military troops and the armed outlaws at Saravan border (with Pakistan in Iran\\\'s Sistan and Balouchestan province),”? Sheikhzadeh said.
He said that the clashes lasted for several hours, and added that the Iranian border guards in cooperation with the IRGC managed to push back the outlaws, forcing them to escape Iranian territory and shelter in a neighboring country (which he meant Pakistan as Saravan is located along Iran\\\'s border with Pakistan).
Sheikhzadeh didn’t name the neighboring country, but in many similar incidents in the past terrorists have taken refuge in Pakistan.
He said that the terrorist attack was waged from inside Pakistan and the outlawed Jeish Al-Adl radical Sunni Wahhabi movement affiliated to the terrorist Jundollah group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
