The Sistan and Baluchestan border guard announced the killing of two border guards in Saravan. Iranian media and officials have not commented on the details of the incident. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the killing of the border guards.

On Thursday, April 15, the Sistan and Baluchestan Border Guard issued a statement announcing the deaths of Stowarik Abolfazl Hashemi, a resident of Zahedan County, and Stowarik Mohammad Nasiri, a resident of Zahak County, Sistan and Baluchestan.

Both of the killed border guards were affiliated with the Saravan Border Regiment in the eastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan, and as stated in the border guard's announcement, both were "martyred" while on duty.
