At least 11 Iranian troops abducted along Pak border

TEHRAN: At least 11 Iranian security personnel, including Revolutionary Guards intelligence officers, were abducted on the southeastern border with Pakistan on Tuesday, state media reported. The Guards blamed “terrorist groups that are guided and supported by foreign forces” for the abductions and demanded action from Pakistan. State news agency IRNA said 14 troops were seized, while local media and other sources gave the number as 11.

Iranian officials held talks with the Pakistani ambassador in Tehran and called on Islamabad to “use all possible means” to free the security personnel.
