Attack on Iran Police Patrol Leaves One Dead, Three Injured
First Sergeant Mohammadreza Nezamdoost was killed in what authorities formally designated a "terrorist attack," as unidentified gunmen opened fire on the unit while it was conducting security operations in the area.
The three additional officers sustained injuries in the assault, though their conditions were not immediately detailed, the news agency reported.
Security forces have launched an active manhunt for the perpetrators, with officials indicating that further information regarding the investigation is expected to be released in the coming hours.
Zahedan, the capital of Sistan and Baluchestan province, has a long history of armed unrest and has been the site of repeated clashes between Iranian security forces and militant groups operating near the country's volatile border regions with Pakistan and Afghanistan.
