One police officer has been martyred and three others wounded during clashes with armed militants in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan in Iran.
The four police officers were on a security patrol when they were attacked by militant elements in the city of Zahedan on Wednesday.
Officer Mohammad Reza Nezam-Doost lost his life on the line of duty due to the severity of his wounds.
Also, in the town of Rask, militant elements attacked a vehicle belonging to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
