Five Security Officers Killed in Militant Attacks in Southeastern Iran

The attacks, claimed by Jaish al-Adl, targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Sistan and Baluchistan provinces.

Suspected Sunni Muslim militants killed at least five Iranian security officers and wounded another 10 in two separate attacks.
The militant group Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attacks on military installations in Rask and Chabahar.
At least eight terrorists were killed during exchanges of fire with security forces.
The area has been the site of occasional deadly clashes involving militants, armed drug smugglers, and Iranian security forces.
Relations between the predominantly Sunni Muslim residents of the region and Iran's Shiite theocracy have long been strained.
