Zahedan, IRNA -- Several explosions have been heard in the vicinity of Saravan, a city in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchestan near the border with Pakistan, a provincial security official announced on Thursday.
Ali-Reza Marhamati, the deputy governor general of the province, told IRNA that security officials and the Police are investigating the issue, according to Marhamati.
Reports said on Tuesday night (two days before today) that positions of Jaish al-Adl terrorist group had come under attack in the restive Baluchistan region, which borders Iran.
In a related development, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, that the target of the cross-border airstrikes on Tuesday night were "Iranian terrorists present on Pakistani soil".
"We targeted Jaish al-Adl, not Pakistani citizens."
