Following a deadly attack on a police station last month, Iran’s military has killed eight militants in an operation in the unrest-plagued southeast, according to state television on Tuesday.
One of the deadliest attacks in the area in recent months occurred on October 26, when militants from the Jaish al-Adl group killed ten police officers in Taftan county, Sistan-Baluchistan province.
According to Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Shafahi, who was cited by the official IRNA news agency, “a total of eight terrorists have been killed” during operations in the region.
He added that security forces had seized a significant quantity of weapons and ammunition and that “fourteen other terrorists have been arrested,” including important players in the Taftan attack.
