More than 15 people have been killed and 40 others wounded in a terrorist attack targeting a holy shrine in the south-central Iranian city of Shiraz.

Iranian media reported late on Wednesday that three armed terrorists broke into the Shah-e Cheragh shrine precinct and opened fires at the pilgrims.

Two the assailants have been arrested and a big manhunt for the third is underway.

The attack took place at the Maghrib prayer time.
