A solemn condolence ceremony was held at the airport to honour the deceased, with both civil and military officials in attendance.

Eight Pakistani nationals were killed on Saturday in the village of Hazabad, located in the Mehristan district of Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province.
The victims identified as mechanics were shot dead while working at a workshop.
Iranian media reports state that the deceased were mechanics.
The workshop owner, Dilshad, and his son Naeem, along with Jafar, Danish, and Nasir, all hailing from Punjab, are among the victims.
The Embassy of Iran strongly condemned the cowardly attack on Pakistani citizens.
“Terrorism is a longstanding plague and a shared threat to the entire region,” stated the spokesperson for the Iranian Embassy.
The embassy stated that treacherous elements, in collusion with international terrorists, are targeting peace and stability.
