(MENAFN- QNA) Iran has summoned the Pakistani ambassador over a series of incidents that killed several Iranian guards at the Pakistani border.
On Saturday night, Iranian Foreign Ministry Director General for West Asia Affairs Rasoul Eslami protested against the fact that the Pakistani territory is being used by terrorist groups and bandits to attack Iranian border guards, and called on Islamabad to take serious measures to prevent similar incidents, according to (Press TV).
In the latest border clashes, two Iranian border police officers were killed and several border guards injured in southeastern Iran on Thursday in an armed conflict with a group of bandits at Iran-Pakistan border.
"It is unacceptable for us that a number of terrorists and bandits trespass our territory from the Pakistani soil and attack and kill our country's border guards," Eslami told Pakistani Ambassador Noor Mohammad Jadmani.
"Such problems should not harm the friendly ties between the two countries and the officials should find a solution and prevent the two nations' enemies from achieving their objectives," he added.
Jadmani, for his part, expressed sorrow over the terrorist incident and pledged to notify Tehran's objection to Islamabad.
