An escalation of tension and armed conflict in the Middle East, already wracked by violence and bloodshed, has been signalled by Iran and Pakistan trading airstrikes this week.
The exchanges come after Israel's war on Gaza and attacks by Iran-backed Houthi militia—claiming to act in solidarity with Palestinians besieged by Tel Aviv—on commercial ships in the Red Sea, resulting in at least 11 deaths.
Nine deaths, including four children in Iran on Thursday and two children in Pakistan the day before, were reported after each nation claimed to have struck "terror groups." Camps run by the "terrorist group" Jaish al-Adl were targeted by Tehran, and Pakistani-origin terror groups in Baluchistan province along the shared border between the nations were attacked, according to Islamabad.
