Quoting Deputy Governor of the Province Alireza Marhamati, official news agency IRNA said that nine non-Iranian nationals — two men, three women and four children — were killed in the attack, which is being investigated by the Iranian security officials.

Pakistan on Thursday used killer drones and rockets to carry out “precision military strikes” against what it called “terrorist hideouts” in Iran’s Siestan-Balochistan province, killing 9 people, a day after Islamabad recalled its ambassador from Tehran in the wake of Iranian missile and drone strikes in Balochistan.

“This morning Pakistan undertook a series of highly coordinated and specifically targeted precision military strikes against terrorist hideouts in Siestan-o-Baluchistan province of Iran,” the Foreign Office said in a statement on Thursday morning.
