At least 10 police forces were martyred in an attack by unknown armed assailants in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan on Saturday, Tasnim News Agency reported.
A provincial Police official told Tasnim that a patrol unit of the Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran (FARAJA) came under attack in the Goharkooh region of Taftan country.
Armed outlaws opened fire on the patrol unit, killing 10 forces, including draftees and official police servicemen.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Mo’meni has assigned a team of police commanders and ministry officials to investigate the terrorist attack and inform the people of the results.
Earlier in December 2023, the notorious Jaish al-Adl (known in Iran as Jaish al-Dhulm) terrorist group stormed a police station in Sistan and Balouchestan province’s city of Rask, which resulted in the martyrdom of 11 Iranian police forces.
