Officials in Pakistan say two children were killed and three women injured in a missile strike from neighbouring Iran on Tuesday. Iran’s foreign minister said the “missile and drone” strikes hit militants in Pakistan in a district near its border with Iran.
Pakistan has recalled its ambassador from Iran to protest the “blatant breach” of its sovereignty.
State media in Iran said its missiles struck two bases of Sunni Muslim group Jaish al-Adl — a militant group that seeks an independent Baluchistan for ethnic Baluch areas in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan. Jaish al-Adl has, in the past, mounted attacks on Iranian security forces in the border
