Dramatic footage has emerged showing Iranian security forces engaging militants following an attack on a courthouse in the country's south-eastern region. The incident, which unfolded earlier today, highlights escalating tensions in the area.
Eyewitnesses reported heavy gunfire as armed assailants stormed the judicial building, prompting a swift response from local law enforcement. The exchange of fire lasted for several hours before authorities regained control of the situation.
Casualties Reported
Initial reports indicate multiple casualties, though official numbers remain unconfirmed. Medical teams were seen evacuating injured persons from the scene, while security forces established a wide perimeter around the courthouse.
Regional Tensions Rise
This attack comes amid growing instability in Iran's border regions, where militant groups have previously targeted government installations. Analysts suggest this could signal a new wave of violence in the strategically important south-eastern corridor.
The Iranian interior ministry has vowed to pursue those responsible, describing the incident as "a cowardly act of terrorism". Meanwhile, residents in the area have been advised to remain indoors as security operations continue.
