New Delhi: In response to Iran's strikes on Tuesday, Pakistan carries out counterattacks against Baloch separatist factions near Saravan. The military action follows Pakistan's warning of "serious consequences" after Iran targeted Jaish al-Adl in Pakistani territory. Islamabad asserts its defensive measures against anti-Pakistan militants inside Iran, as officials anticipate a government statement later in the day.
The escalation stems from Iran's earlier assault on "terrorist targets" in Pakistan, a move contested by Islamabad, which claims the lives of two children. Tensions continue to rise between the two neighboring nations as the situation unfolds.
