Iranian media have reported that two soldiers were killed in an armed attack in the Khash region, located in eastern Iran.
According to ISNA, the shooting occurred on Tuesday, October 1, in Khash district, part of Sistan and Baluchestan province.
The report stated that armed individuals fired at a vehicle carrying Iranian soldiers, resulting in the deaths of two soldiers.
In recent days, several incidents have been reported from this region, indicating a rise in insecurity in eastern Iran.
It is worth mentioning that the recent attacks in eastern Iran targeting the country’s security forces were claimed by the Jaish al-Adl group, which reportedly organizes its attacks from Pakistani soil.
The escalation of insecurity along the Afghanistan-Iran and Afghanistan-Pakistan borders is largely driven by increased militant activity. Armed groups such as Jaish al-Adl are taking advantage of the porous borders to launch attacks, heightening tensions in the region.
The growing instability on these borders poses significant challenges for both Iran and Pakistan, as militant groups operate across national boundaries, making it difficult to contain violence and maintain security.
If left unchecked, the continued militant activity along these borders could further destabilize the region, leading to increased conflict, cross-border tensions, and humanitarian crises for the affected populations.
