Pakistan Warns of Serious Consequences Following Iran’s Airstrikes Resulting in the Death of Two Children in Balochistan
Islamabad:
Two innocent children lost their lives and three girls were injured in what Pakistan’s foreign ministry calls an “illegal” airstrike carried out by Iran. The ministry summoned Tehran’s top diplomat in Islamabad to express its protest against this “unprovoked violation of its airspace.”
Although the statement does not specify the exact location of the strike, several Pakistani social media accounts reported explosions in Balochistan province, which shares a sparsely populated border of approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) with Iran.
Pakistan’s foreign ministry stated, “This violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty is completely unacceptable and could have severe consequences.” The airstrike occurred late on Tuesday and resulted in the tragic death of two innocent children, with three girls sustaining injuries.
As of now, there has been no official response from Iran.
Tensions between Tehran and Islamabad often involve accusations of both countries harboring militants who carry out attacks from across the border. However, it is uncommon for official forces from either side to engage in such actions.
Pakistan’s foreign ministry expressed further concern, stating, “It is even more alarming that this illegal act was committed despite the existence of multiple communication channels between Pakistan and Iran. Pakistan has consistently emphasized that terrorism is a shared threat in the region, necessitating coordinated efforts.”
“Unilateral actions of this nature are not conducive to maintaining good neighborly relations and can severely undermine bilateral trust and confidence,” added the ministry.
