In an unfortunate and tragic incident on Saturday, nine Pakistani laborers fell victim to unidentified gunmen in the city of Saravan, located in the Sistan-Baluchestan province of Iran. This distressing event unfolds amidst ongoing efforts from both Iran and Pakistan to repair strained relations following recent reciprocal attacks. Muhammad Mudassir Tipu, the Pakistani ambassador to Tehran, expressed profound shock at the loss of the laborers and assured unwavering support for the grieving families. He urged collaborative efforts with Iranian authorities to bring those responsible to justice.
Reports from Iranian state media indicate that the police are actively pursuing three suspects who fled the scene of the attack. The victims, identified by the Baluch rights group Haalvash, were Pakistani laborers employed at an auto repair shop, where they also resided. Additionally, three others sustained injuries during the indiscriminate shooting.
As the investigation unfolds, no group has claimed responsibility for this heinous act, according to state media. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, the spokesperson for the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, unequivocally condemned the incident and emphasized the close communication between Pakistan and Iranian authorities to ensure a thorough investigation and accountability.
This tragic event casts a somber shadow ahead of the scheduled visit to Pakistan by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Monday. Nasser Kanaani, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, echoed condemnation for the attack and underscored the significance of maintaining robust bilateral relations in the face of such adversity.
