Iranian border forces kill 6 Pakistanis, injure 4 others
QUETTA: Iranian security guards shot dead at least six Pakistani nationals and injured four others as they intercepted suspected smugglers near the Pakistan-Iran border on Thursday. The Balochistan Levies have confirmed the incident.
Sources said that the incident took place near Iranian territory, close to the Zaran border overlooking Chah Bahar which is a regular route for informal trade between Iran and Pakistan. It was unclear whether the incident took place on the Pakistan side of the border or on the Iranian side.
Sources said that the Pakistani nationals were travelling in a vehicle carrying cattle and heading towards Chah Bahar from Zaran border when they were intercepted by the Iranian border security guards.
Iranian security personnel without giving any warning opened indiscriminate fire at Pakistani nationals from different directions. Six of the Pakistanis died on the spot after receiving multiple bullet wounds while four others sustained injuries.
The sources said that the security personnel reportedly took the dead and injured to Chah Bahar where the injured were provided treatment at a state-run hospital while the dead bodies were kept in a morgue for identification and pending legal proceedings.
The identity of the dead and injured could not be ascertained till this report was filed.
However, according to some locals, some of the dead were Baloch residents of Gwadar district while others were Pakhtun. They were allegedly being smuggled into Iran in search of better job prospects.
In recent weeks, the Iranians have become sensitive about border security after it was tightened during the recent naval exercises held in the region.
It is pertinent to mention that last month, a number of fishermen were killed when the Iranian coast guards opened fire on fishing vessels from Pakistani territory without any warning.

Firing by Iranian border guards have killed six Pakistanis and injured two others near Gawadar.
The district administration of Gawadar said that the victims of Iranian firing belong to Turbat, Jeewani and Awaran areas of balochistan.
Official sources said that the Iranians killed these people inside their area while they were carrying cattle into Iran illegally. The bodies of the victims have not been handed over to the Pakistani authorities yet.
Earlier in the month, police charged three Iranian border guards for murdering a Pakistani man in a cross-border attack.
But later these guards were handed over to the Iranian authorities.
