TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Three members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) were killed in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan on Wednesday, after their vehicle was hit by a booby trap bomb.
A provincial security official said the deadly incident took place at 6:30 am local time on Wednesday, December 18, near the southeastern city of Saravan.

The three victims were members of the IRGC engineering division working on construction projects in the border area, the official said.

The vehicle carrying the IRGC staffers left a workshop this morning, but was later detonated by a booby trap explosion on the road.

Earlier on October 25, a group of armed men carried out an ambush attack on a border post in Gazbostan, near Iran’s southeastern city of Saravan, on the border with Pakistan which has almost no control over its side of the shared frontier with Iran, killing 14 Iranian border guards.
