11 Killed in Attack on Iranian Police Station

An attack on a police station in Rask town, southeastern Iran, resulted in 11 deaths and eight injuries. The victims included senior police officers and soldiers.
The attack, which occurred at 2 a.m., was reportedly carried out by Jaish al-Adl, a separatist militant group known for conducting hit-and-run operations from neighboring Pakistan.
Several of the attackers were killed in a shootout with the police, and one was arrested.
The attack is part of a low-level insurgency against the government by militants and small separatist groups, which have targeted police stations in recent months.
Sistan and Baluchestan province, where the attack took place, is one of the least developed areas of Iran and has been the site of heavy crackdowns on rallies following nationwide protests.
