Two IRGC members martyred near Pakistan border

Two members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) have been martyred during clashes with terrorists in southeastern Iran, near the country’s border with Pakistan.

The clashes occurred in the Keshtegan area of Saravan County, in Sistan-and-Baluchestan Province, on Sunday.

The two security forces belonged to the Quds Base of the IRGC.

Two other security forces were also wounded during the confrontation.

Terrorists operating in neighboring countries, including Pakistan and Iraq, have repeatedly targeted Iranian military and security forces serving in border provinces.

Earlier in the month, terrorists martyred three IRGC servicemen enlisted with the Hamzeh Seyyed al-Shuhada Base of the Corps’ Ground Forces during clashes in the Piranshahr County of the West Azerbaijan Province. One more was injured during the attack, which targeted a vehicle carrying the forces at the entrance to the county.
