* Pakistani media said attack was near Panjgur in southwest Balochistan province
* It comes less than a week after UK-US coalition struck Houthi targets in Yemen
An Iranian strike on targets inside Pakistan killed two children and wounded three other people overnight, the Pakistani government has said, further stoking fears of a wider conflict in the Middle East.
Pakistan's foreign ministry issued a statement confirming Tuesday's attack, which was first announced by Iranian media reports that were later withdrawn.
Islamabad called the attack an 'unprovoked violation' of the country's airspace, with the strikes reportedly targeting bases of Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl, and warned of 'serious consequences'.

Islamists fighting Islamists. Not a concern for me, to be honest.
ReplyDeleteIt was missile strikes. More than the usual. It shows how weak Pakistan is.
ReplyDeleteSome colonels are going to be promoted , because the current turkeys are fat, dumb and happy. At leas they were happy.
Factoid. Pakistan has no had one PM serve out their term.
Weak piss poor Pakistan, India would have responded 10 fold
ReplyDeleteRespond in the defense of a bunch of terrorists that they'd like to see killed just as much as the Iranians? The only reason they're upset is because their sovereignty was disrespected. If you flew a B2 over Islamabad and dropped a pallet of cash on them they'd still get upset for diplomatic reasons but they're not gonna do anything about it.
ReplyDeletePakistan knew they were there , if they wanted to hit them they would have . Pakistani citizens were killed (kids at that ) that's why there volatile populace will be screaming for a kinetic response .
DeleteWeak piss poor Pakistan, a nation with nukes.
ReplyDeleteEven more reason to be weak and puss poor , when you can do a conventional strike , whilst hiding behind your implied nuclear shield
DeleteUse them or lose them.
ReplyDeleteAs corrupt as the Paki generals are the nukes might be juke. Merely dirty bombs.
So a nation with nukes?
Is that the one thing they did without graft or corruption? what are the odd?
