The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan said that Iran carried out an "illegal" airstrike on the country on Tuesday night. Two children were killed and three were injured. This was said in a statement of the ministry on Wednesday.
The Pakistani government has summoned Iran's top diplomat posted in Islamabad to express its anger over the 'unprovoked airspace violation'.
The country's foreign ministry said in a statement that "two innocent children were killed and three girls were injured in the attack on Tuesday night."
However, the statement did not mention where the attack took place. Although several social media in Pakistan have said that the attack took place in Balochistan province. Balochistan province has a border of about 1000 kilometers with Iran.
"This violation of Pakistan's sovereignty is completely unacceptable," the statement added. The consequences can be serious.
Iran's statement on the incident was not immediately known. However, according to a news agency related to the country's military, the BBC reported that two bases associated with the militant group Jaish al-Adl were targeted.
In the last few days, Iran attacked a third country. Earlier they attacked Iraq and Syria.
Iran and Pakistan often accuse each other of harboring militants. It is said that the militants make a base in one country and attack another territory. However, the involvement of the government forces of both sides in these incidents is rare.
Islamabad's Foreign Ministry said, "It is of more concern that such illegal activities are taking place despite the few channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran."
The statement added, "Pakistan has always maintained that terrorism is a common threat to all countries in the region, which requires concerted action to counter it." Such unilateral actions are not compatible with good neighborly relations and can seriously damage bilateral trust and confidence.'
