At least seven members of the Fatemiyoun, an IRGC-funded and trained Shi'ite militia composed primarily of Afghans, and one gunman were killed in clashes at a school reportedly used as a base by the terror group in Iran’s Sistan and Baluchestan province on Monday, according to the Haalvsh human rights monitor.
Unknown gunmen attacked the terrorists on the base in the Bir-e Sofla School in the village of Bir, in Kahiri district of Konarak County, according to the organization.
According to sources speaking to the human rights monitor, the two armed motorcyclists entered the village at 4 p.m. on Monday and opened fire on the Fatemiyoun forces stationed at the school. In addition to the seven reportedly killed, several were reportedly critically wounded and were taken away in an ambulance.
Though Haalvsh did not identify the gunmen, the IRGC-owned Tasnim News Agency reported that they had been affiliated with Jaish al-Adl, a Baloch nationalist militant organization operating across the Iran–Pakistan border.
Tasnim did not report on any casualties from the attack, beyond a gunman whom it claimed attempted to attack “army personnel.”
Iranian regime security officer killed by gunman
Additionally, Haalvsh reported that a regime security officer was killed by an unidentified gunman in Saravan County in the same province at around 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday near the Islamic Azad University and the governor's office building in the city.
The slain security force member was identified as Third Lieutenant Hojjat Vafakarde, a member of the Saravan County police intelligence unit.
Tasnim reported that the attack was carried out by members of “a terrorist group affiliated with the US and the Israeli regime.”
