Three Members of Terrorist Cell Killed in Southeastern Iran
Iranian security forces killed three members of a terrorist team in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, state media reported.
Iranian security forces killed three members of a terrorist team in Sistan and Baluchestan province, in the country's southeast, according to a report from Mehr News Agency published on September 23.
The report did not provide additional details on the circumstances of the operation, the identities of those killed, or the group to which the alleged terrorist team belonged.
Sistan and Baluchestan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has periodically been the site of security operations by Iranian forces against armed groups operating in the region. Iranian authorities have in the past attributed such incidents to militant organizations active along the country's eastern frontier.
Mehr News Agency, which first reported the incident, is one of Iran's state-affiliated news outlets. No further official statement on the operation was immediately available.
This is a developing story, and further details may emerge as Iranian authorities release additional information.
