Deadly Attack in Zahedan: Many Killed or Hurt at Courthouse

ZADEDAN – A deadly attack happened at a courthouse in Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province in Iran. Reports say gunfire and explosions were heard near the building.

A group called Jaish al-Adl said they were behind the attack. Some news reports say a suicide bomber might have been involved.

According to local reports, many people, including court staff and security officers, were killed or injured. Some were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Zahedan is in a province close to Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is home to Sunni Muslim Baloch people, who say they are often treated unfairly by the government and have fewer rights.

This area often sees fighting between Iranian forces and armed groups. These groups say they want more freedom and rights. The Iranian government says some of them work with foreign countries or are involved in illegal activities.
