Official Iranian media reported the death of a police officer following an armed attack in the Sistan and Baluchestan province in the southeastern part of the country. Reports indicated that unidentified gunmen opened fire on the officer while he was
en route to his workplace in the Sib and Suran county. This province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, is considered a region facing continuous security challenges, where security forces occasionally encounter attacks from armed groups and smuggling networks operating along
the border.
