TEHRAN – Iranian security forces repulsed a terror attack by Jaish al-Adl group on Revolutionary Guards headquarters in the Sustan-Baluchistan region, which killed sixteen militants and eleven soldiers.
The group of terrorists stormed military posts in southeastern Iran, triggering gunfire and blasts that saw huge fire.
The region housed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s headquarters, and Border Force range in Chabahar, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Interior confirmed the deaths.
The deceased include members of security forces, paramilitary force, and two police personnel. Initial reports five deaths, but the numbers were revised to 11.
Jaish al-Adl group launched attacks along nearby key arteries to prevent security forces from chasing them.
Despite the deaths, Iranian authorities said terrorists failed to breach the Revolutionary Guards’ base thanks to the resistance of our forces.
Last year, the same terrorist group ambushed police station in the region, killing 11 security personnel.
