Iran launches airstrikes on ‘Sunni militant bases’ in Pakistan

Pakistan says attacks killed two children and wounded three others in ‘unprovoked violation’ of its airspace

Iran has launched airstrikes in Pakistan on what it described as bases for a Sunni militant group, potentially further raising tensions in region already inflamed by Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Pakistan said the attacks late on Tuesday killed two children and wounded three others in an assault it described as an “unprovoked violation” of its airspace.
