Iranian Forces Say They Killed Five Members of Armed Group in Saravan

Iranian security forces killed five members of what officials described as a terrorist team in the southeastern city of Saravan, according to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps' Quds Base, as reported by IRNA.

The report, published in Tehran, cited the Quds Base as the source of the announcement on Wednesday.

No further details on the identity of those killed, the circumstances of the clash, or any casualties among Iranian security forces were included in the initial report.

Saravan, located in Iran's southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province near the border with Pakistan, has periodically been the site of security operations reported by Iranian state media.

IRNA did not provide independent verification of the incident beyond the statement attributed to the Quds Base.
