By OB Bureau On Jan 17, 2024

New Delhi: Pakistan has warned of “serious consequences” following the missile attack on the bases of Balochi militant group Jaish al Adl on Tuesday. It is “completely unacceptable,” said a statement released by Pakistan’s foreign office spokesperson in the early hours of Wednesday.

The militant group has earlier mounted attacks on Iranian security forces in the border area with Pakistan. “These bases were hit and destroyed by missiles and drones,” Iranian state media reported, a day after Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards attacked targets in Iraq and Syria with missiles.

Pakistan said Iran has violated its airspace resulting in the death of two children.

Iran’s Nournews, affiliated with the country’s top security body, said the attacked bases were located in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

Jan Achakzai, information minister of Pakistan’s Balochistan province, which borders Iran, declined to confirm or deny the attack. “Wait for the response of ISPR,” he said, referring to the Pakistani military’s public relations wing.
