Perhaps this had something to do with the bombings that took place in Pakistan's border town with Iran that killed almost 30 Hazara Shi'as (Pakistani citizens, not Afghan).
Pakistani and Iranian border guards exchange fire
By Aamir Latif, Monday, June 09, 2014
ISLAMABAD – Rockets and mortar were exchanged between border guards at Pakistan and Iran's shared border on Monday, Pakistani officials said.
Pakistan claimed they were responding to Iranian border guards propelling rockets into Pakistani territory.
“Iranian border guards fired 24 rockets, which fell 2 kilometers west of a security post,” said Khan Waseh, a spokesperson for the Frontier Constabulary paramilitary that handles security and border affairs in southwestern Baluchistan province.
Tensions have already been running high between the two neighboring Muslim states because of sectarian attacks on Shia Muslims in Pakistan.
Thirty Shia pilgrims were killed in twin suicide attacks in Taftan town near the border on Sunday night.

QUETTA: Iranian border guards fired two dozen rockets into Balochistan province on Monday evening, however, no casualties were reported, an official said.
Spokesman for the Frontier Corps (FC) Khan Wasey told Dawn.com that Iranian border guards fired 24 rockets in Balochistan's Panjgur district.
He said the rockets landed some 2 kilometres away from an FC check post.
"Loud explosions rocked the entire Pak-Iran border area," Wasey said. He stated, however, that the FC personnel’s timely retaliation silenced the Iranian side and that there was no loss of life.
The local administration lodged a protest with the Iranian authorities regarding the latest skirmish.
Iranian border guards have repeatedly fired rockets into Pakistani territory, creating panic among people living in bordering areas with Iran.
Recent attacks by Iranian guards in Pakistani territory and the kidnapping of Iranian guards in February this year have undermined relations between the two neighbours.
