Iran Condemns Terrorist Attack in Pakistan’s Balochistan
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned a terrorist attack that killed at least 10 people in the Harnai area of Pakistan’s Balochistan province on Friday.
In a statement on Friday evening, Esmaeil Baqaei reaffirmed Iran’s principled policy of condemning terrorism in all its forms and anywhere.
He also extended his sympathies to the bereaved families as well as the people and government of Pakistan and wished quick recovery for those injured in the attack.
The spokesman underlined the need for stepping up efforts and cooperation at the bilateral and multilateral levels in order to prevent and counter terrorism, the ministry’s website reported.
At least 10 people have been killed and others wounded after a bomb struck a vehicle carrying laborers in Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan.
An improvised explosive device (IED) hit the truck when it was travelling in the Harnai area on Friday.
Security forces have been battling a decades-long rebellion by separatist groups in impoverished Balochistan, with violence in the border regions surging over the past three years.
