At least seven members of the Fatemiyoun, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-funded and trained Shi'ite militia composed primarily of Afghans, and one gunman were killed in clashes at a school reportedly used as a base by the terror group in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province on Monday, according to the Haalvsh human rights monitor. Unknown gunmen on two motorcycles entered the village of Bir in Kahiri district of Konarak County at 4 p.m. and opened fire on the Fatemiyoun forces stationed at the Sofla School. Several people are said to have been critically wounded and removed by ambulance. The IRGC-owned Tasnim News Agency identified the gunmen as affiliated with Jaish al-Adl, a Baloch nationalist militant organization, but did not report on casualties beyond a wounded gunman. Separately, Haalvsh reported a regime security officer, 3rd-Lt. Hojjat Vafakarde, killed by an unidentified gunman in Saravan city on Tuesday morning. Tasnim attributed that attack to a terrorist group affiliated with the United States and Israel.
