Two major strongholds of the so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan have been precisely struck and completely wiped out by a salvo of missiles as well as a squadron of combat drones.

According to reports obtained by Tasnim news agency, the bases were specifically targeted and successfully demolished late on Tuesday in the Koh-e-Sabz area of the province, which is known to be among the main bastions of Jaish al-Adl terrorists.

Jaish al-Adl is a notorious terrorist group with headquarters in Pakistan, and has been involved in numerous terror attacks against Iran.

Back on December 15 last year, the group claimed responsibility for a vicious terrorist assault on Rask County’s police headquarters in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan.

Alireza Marhamati, deputy provincial governor in security and political affairs, said at the time that 11 police forces, including officers and conscripts, were killed in the attack.

Majid Mirahmadi, deputy interior minister for security and police affairs, also said the terrorists attacked the police post from several directions and later ambushed reinforcements deployed to the location.

He said two of the terrorists were killed and one of them was injured and arrested in hours-long clashes, while the rest escaped.

Six police forces were injured during the exchange of fire, he said. 

The attack, which occurred around midnight, was one of the deadliest in years for the region sitting close to Iran’s border with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
