One member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards was killed and five were wounded in an attack on a base in southeastern Iran on Saturday, Iranian media reported, as the country holds official celebrations on the 40th anniversary of its Revolution, Gulf Times reported.
‘A (paramilitary) Basij base in Nik Shahr came under ... fire this morning and several from the Revolutionary Guards communications personnel who were wiring the base were hit,’ Mohammad Hadi Marashi, provincial deputy governor for security affairs, told the state news agency IRNA.
‘Five of the Guards personnel were wounded and one was martyred,’ Marashi said, adding that anniversary events were proceeding peacefully.
The semi-official news agency Tasnim said Jaish al-Adl, a Sunni militant group, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
