Pakistan says it used rockets and drones to strike separatist Baloch militants inside Iran on January 18, in a retaliatory strike two days after Tehran said it attacked the bases of another group within Pakistani territory.
Iranian media said several missiles hit a village in the Sistan-Baluchestan province that borders Pakistan, killing at least nine people, including four children.
Eyewitness video verified by Reuters showed villagers standing in rubble surrounded by severely damaged buildings following the strikes.
The neighbors have had rocky ties in the past, but the strikes are the highest-profile cross-border intrusions in recent years and come amid growing worries about instability in the Middle East since the Israel-Hamas war began.
