ISLAMABAD/TEHRAN - The Pakistani Foreign Ministry confirmed on Wednesday that two children were killed and three girls were injured in Pakistan due to Iran's violation of Pakistan's airspace.

Pakistan strongly condemns the "unprovoked violation" of its airspace by Iran, the ministry said in a statement, adding that this violation of its sovereignty is "completely unacceptable and can have serious consequences".

Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that two important bases of the Jaish al-Zulm "terrorist group" in Pakistan were destroyed in missile and drone strikes on Tuesday.

The Iranian charge d'affaires has been called to the Pakistani Foreign Ministry to convey Pakistan's strongest condemnation of this blatant violation of its sovereignty and that the "responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran"

The report showed the targeted bases were located in a region known as Kouh-Sabz (green mountain) in Pakistan's Balochistan province, "which is home to one of the largest bases of the Jaish al-Zulm".

The report did not specify who had launched the attacks, but said additional information would be released in forthcoming updates.

Pakistan's strong protest has already been lodged with the concerned senior official in the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran, Pakistani Foreign Ministry's statement showed.

It is even more concerning that this illegal act has taken place despite the existence of several channels of communication between Pakistan and Iran, it added.

Additionally, the Iranian charge d'affaires has been called to the Pakistani Foreign Ministry to convey Pakistan's strongest condemnation of this blatant violation of its sovereignty and that the "responsibility for the consequences will lie squarely with Iran", according to the statement.

Pakistan has always said terrorism is a common threat to all countries in the region that requires coordinated action, according to the statement.
