Islamabad, Pakistan CNN —Pakistan has carried out a series of military strikes on what it said were separatist militant hideouts inside Iran, its foreign ministry said Thursday, in the latest incident across their shared border that has sent tensions between the two neighbors soaring.
“At 4:30 a.m. explosions were heard in a border village, several missiles were fired at the village,” Marhamati said.
This morning’s action was taken in light of credible intelligence of impending large scale terrorist activities,” Pakistan’s foreign ministry said.
But the deadly attack inside Pakistani territory seriously damaged relations between the two countries, Pakistani Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani told his Iranian counterpart.
And Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and Syria have launched dozens of attacks aimed at US military positions in those countries.
