Yesterday, two bases of Balochi militant group Jaish al Adl in Pakistan were targeted by Iranian missiles. The group had attacked Iranian security forces in the border area with Pakistan.
The attack came a day after Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards hit targets in Iraq and Syria with missiles.
Pakistan said two children were killed in the missile strikes and warned that the incident could have "serious consequences" and was "completely unacceptable".
"A strong protest has already been lodged with the senior official concerned in the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran. Additionally, the Iranian charge d'affaires has been called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convey our strongest condemnation of this blatant violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and that the responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran," Islamabad said in a statement.
