Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox event Шаблон:Terrorist attacks in Pakistan On 1 April 2023, four Pakistani soldiers were killed in a terrorist attack along the Pak-Iran border in Kech district, Balochistan. The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) confirmed that the attackers had operated from the Iranian side of the border. The deceased soldiers were identified as Naik Shair Ahmed, Lance Naik Muhammad Asghar, Sepoy Muhammad Irfan, and Sepoy Abdur Rasheed.[1][2]

Background

Pakistan shares a 900 km-long border with Iran, and the region has witnessed several security incidents in the past. Baloch militant groups, who operate on both sides of the border, have been fighting for a greater share of regional resources. The ISPR has contacted the Iranian side to take necessary action against the terrorists responsible for the attack and prevent such incidents from recurring. The incident highlights the ongoing security challenges along the Pak-Iran border and the need for greater cooperation between the two countries to address them.[3]

Reactions

Pakistani officials, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, condemned the attack and offered condolences to the families of the martyrs.[4]
