The prosecutor of Sistan and Baluchestan province reported the killing of three border guards following gunfire from a number of 'unknown armed individuals' at a gas station in the city of Mirjaveh. Mehdi Shamsabadi also announced that a judicial case has been opened for 'this terrorist incident' and intelligence actions have begun to identify the individuals involved. Following this event, the group 'Jaish al-Adl' issued a statement claiming responsibility for the shooting at the border guard vehicle of the Mirjaveh border regiment. In the statement, the armed organization Jaish al-Adl stated that these forces are 'the perpetrators of deadly attacks on fuel carriers.' The group's statement emphasized that in recent days, there has been a significant increase in deadly attacks by law enforcement forces on fuel carriers; therefore, Jaish al-Adl conducted this operation 'in defense of this underprivileged segment of society.' The armed group Jaish al-Adl also besieged the command center of the IRGC in Rask for at least several hours on Thursday morning, April 16, and attacked the IRGC base and a police station in the city of Chabahar. Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that 'Jaish al-Adl' takes refuge in Pakistan and uses its territory to attack inside Iran. The group Jundallah and all its new names and related names, including 'Jaish al-Adl,' are listed as terrorist organizations by the United States. 48 people have been arrested on charges of participating in Jaish al-Adl's attacks on military bases in Rask and Chabahar in April. At least 22 citizens have been arrested in Oshnaviyeh and Rask. Six law enforcement officers were killed in Sistan and Baluchestan; Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attack. The group 'Jaish al-Adl' has attacked three military bases in Rask and Chabahar; so far, 11 government forces have been killed.
