At least 10 officers were killed in an attack on a police convoy in Iran’s restive southern province of Sistan and Baluchistan on Saturday. The attack follows a major attack by Israel in Iran on Saturday morning.

Details about the attack in Gohar Koh, about 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) southeast of the Iranian capital Tehran, are currently limited.

Initial media reports described only the attack by “miscreants”. But shortly afterwards, Iranian state media reported that 10 officials had been killed.

HalVash, an advocacy group for the Baloch people of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan, posted photos and videos showing a disabled truck painted with green stripes used by Iranian police vehicles. A graphic photo shared by the group shows the bodies of two police officers on the front seat of the truck.
