Pakistan has carried out deadly strikes against targets inside Iran. The retaliatory strikes were conducted for the attacks by Tehran days ago that followed similar attacks in Iraq and Syria.

The tit-for-tat exchanges appeared to target separatist militants on either side of the border, ratcheting up tensions between the two neighbors but also stoking fears of regional escalation amid the Israel-Hamas war, according to a report by NBC News. 

“This morning’s action was taken in light of credible intelligence of impending large-scale terrorist activities,” Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “This action is a manifestation of Pakistan’s unflinching resolve to protect and defend its national security against all threats.”
