Iran Fires Three Mortar Shells Into Balochistan’s Panjgur District
The firing coincided with the Indian surgical strikes across the Line of Control.
Iranian border guards fired three mortar shells into the Balochi territory of Pakistan during the early hours of Wednesday, as reported by Dawn.
This coincides with the surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army on Pakistani terror camps on 28 September.
"Mortar shells fired by Iranian border guards landed in the district of Panjgur," a provincial government official told Dawn on the condition of anonymity.
Two of the shells landed near the Frontier Corps check-post and the third at Killi Karim Dad, said the official.
No loss to human life or property has been reported thus far. The firing led to panic among locals and Frontier Corps personnel reached the site for initiating investigation.
Security forces have tightened security at the borders since the firing.
