Pakistan has launched retaliatory missile strikes into neighbouring Iran, two days after an Iranian attack inflamed relations between the two states.
Pakistan said its strikes had hit “terrorist hideouts” in the bordering Sistan-o-Balochistan province.
Iranian media reported that three women and four children had been killed.
Pakistan’s hit comes after it was outraged by Iran’s strike, which Tehran said was aimed at terrorist groups.
Both countries have long accused each other of harbouring militant groups that carry out attacks from regions along their shared border.
But official military action between Pakistan and Iran on this issue is uncommon, and they typically maintain cordial, although fragile, relations.
Uh. I am concerned.
Inching closer and closer to thermonuclear armaggeddon - Grab a chair, I guess.
It’s like we’re back in the 50’s, without the wholesomeness
Just shitty AI images like you posted and bombs for kids.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Pakistan has launched retaliatory missile strikes into neighbouring Iran, two days after an Iranian attack inflamed relations between the two states.
But official military action between Pakistan and Iran on this issue is uncommon, and they typically maintain cordial, although fragile, relations.
On Thursday, Pakistan’s foreign ministry confirmed its strikes, which had been first reported by Iranian media on Wednesday evening.
Pakistan’s military action comes after it fiercely condemned Iran’s strike on Tuesday, which Islamabad says killed two children.
It had warned Tehran of “serious consequences” for the “illegal” action, banned Iran’s ambassador from returning to the country and also withdrew its own envoy from Pakistan.
Iran insisted its strikes were aimed only at Jaish al-Adl, which it labels a terrorist group, and not Pakistan’s citizens.
