A gun and grenade attack on a courthouse in Zahedan, Iran, killed nine people, including civilians and assailants. The Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl claimed responsibility for the attack, which targeted a courthouse in Sistan-Baluchistan province, a region with a history of conflict between security forces and armed groups. The attackers, disguised as visitors, threw a grenade, resulting in multiple casualties. Jaish al-Adl, advocating for Baloch rights, has conducted numerous attacks in the past, prompting accusations of foreign ties by the Iranian government.
