In a recent incident near the Pakistan border, Iranian police engaged in a gunfight with terrorists in Saravan, Sistan and Baluchistan province. The Iranian police announced that three terrorists were killed in the exchange. The incident occurred on Sunday morning when terrorists attacked the police patrol. The area is strategically located near the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, making it susceptible to such attacks.
After the initial attack, the police responded, killing three of the attackers. The remaining terrorists managed to escape, and a search operation is underway to find them. Tragically, one police officer was killed in the confrontation, and another was injured and is receiving medical attention.
The province has a history of facing instability due to various armed groups, including terrorist organizations and smuggling networks.
