Double terrorist attacks in Iran claim six lives, including military personnel

At least six people, including five military personnel, have died following two separate terrorist attacks in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan.

The first incident occurred on October 1, when terrorists targeted a ceremony at a school in Bent, resulting in four fatalities and two injuries, according to the governor of Nikshahr city, Caliber.Az reports via Iranian media.

Bent, a small city situated 230 km west of the Iran-Pakistan border and 90 km north of the Sea of Oman, witnessed the brutal attack during a gathering at the "Mohsenin Sheikhan" school.

The governor confirmed that the assailants opened fire on attendees, killing the chairman of the Bent city council, Yousef Shirani, as well as Parviz Kadkhodaei, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Bent.

Two draftee soldiers serving in the IRGC, named Javad Sadati and Mojib Baluchi, also lost their lives in the attack.

In a separate incident in Khash, also in Sistan and Balouchestan, armed assailants opened fire on a police vehicle, resulting in the deaths of two servicemen.

Sistan and Balouchestan, located in the southeast of Iran, share borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan and have a lengthy coastline along the Sea of Oman.
