Iran launched missile and drone attacks on the province of Balochistan in Pakistan on 16 January 2024, claiming to have targeted a militant group striving for the independence of the Baloch territories in Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Pakistan denounced the attacks, which killed two children and injured four others in Panjgur District. It retaliated two days later with military strikes on Saravan in the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan that claimed the lives of nine foreign nationals. On 19 January 2024, both nations declared the resumption of diplomatic ties, following their agreement to defuse the tensions.
