Pakistan on Sunday strongly condemned the terrorist attack at Rask Police Headquarters in the southeastern region of Iran, which killed 11 Iranian officials and injured several others.
On Friday, at least 11 Iranian police officers were killed in an attack overnight on a police station in the province of Sistan-Baluchistan.
The attack was claimed by Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice) group, in a brief statement on its Telegram channel. Jaish al-Adl was formed in 2012 and is blacklisted by Iran as a “terrorist” group.
“Pakistan stands in full solidarity with the government and brotherly people of Iran in this hour of unspeakable tragedy,” the Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson said that they extended heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and prayed for the swift recovery of the injured. “Terrorism was a threat to regional as well as global peace and security and it needed to be confronted by all means including through bilateral and regional co-operation,” the spokesperson further said.
