MITHILA RAHMAN TUSI
Pakistan's aviation-based armed forces carried out retaliatory airstrikes in Iran early Thursday morning targeting the aggressors, an attack that killed at least seven people and heightened tensions between the neighboring countries.
Attacks in Sistan and Balochistan regions followed an Iranian attack on Pakistani soil on Tuesday that killed two children in the southwestern Balochistan region. The attacks on Tuesday and Thursday appeared to target separate Baloch militant groups after the two countries claimed to be tracking down each other's sanctuaries.
The attack jeopardizes strategic ties between the two neighbors, as Iran and nuclear-armed Pakistan have long respected each other with suspicions of aggressive strikes.
