Mortar shells fired from Iran land on Pakistani soil
Centre for a Democratic Iran: Five mortar shells fired from across the Pakistan Iran border have landed at a place called Peshwak, but no serious injuries or loss of life have been reported.
According to 'International the News', Military sources said that five mortar shells fired from across the Iranian border fell near FC Camp at Peshwak and have caused “a sense of panic and harassment among the population of the area”.
Diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Iran hit a new low last week as Islamabad voiced "serious concern" over a warning by Tehran that it may send troops across the border to secure the release of its kidnapped border guards.
Five Iranian border guards were kidnapped on February 6 in Iran's restive Sistan-Baluchestan province by militants who allegedly took them across the border to Pakistan.
Iran has denounced what it called Pakistan's inability to secure its own borders, with Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani-Fazli reportedly warning that Tehran may send forces into Pakistan to free the border guards.
"Pakistan regrets the suggestions of negligence on its part over the incident, especially when Pakistan’s active support against terrorist groups in the past, is well-known and acknowledged by Iran," a Pakistani government statement said.
