QUETTA: Five mortar shells were fired from Iran into Balochistan's Chagai area today evening, reported Geo TV.
According to reports, no casualties have been reported so far. Pakistan shares a 900 kilometre long porous border with Iran and the two countries had in 2014 decided to boost intelligence coordination to wipe out terrorists from the border region.
The ties between the two neighbours got stressed after ten Iranian border guards were killed at Mirjaveh on the Sistan-Baluchistan border by the Pakistan-based Sunni terror outfit, Jaish al-Adl or "The Army of Justice". Iranian police said the guards were killed by long-range guns and called on Islamabad to assume ultimate responsibility for the crime.
The Sistan-Baluchistan province in south-east Iran has long been plagued by drug smuggling gangs and separatist militants.
