The IRGC announced that Friday's armed terrorist attack on security forces in the city of Zahedan in the Sistan and Baluchestan province left three martyrs and 32 others injured.

According to the IRGC's public relation department of the Force of the Southeast, Commander Hamid-Reza Hashemi, the deputy head of the information department of the Salman branch of IRGC in Sistan and Baluchestan province, along with Mohammad-Amin Azarshokr and Mohammad-Amin Arefi, was martyred in a terrorist raid on military forces.

In a separate incident, Iranian media reported Friday the martyrdom of Colonel Seyed Ali Mousavi, the chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Sistan and Baluchestan province.

According to Tasnim Agency, Mousavi was shot in the chest by gunmen and taken to the hospital, but later succumbed to his injuries.

After the eruption of riots in Zahedan on Friday morning, a crowd of anti-revolution elements gathered near the Makki Mosque and started to fire shots.

The security forces were immediately deployed to the scene, but the commander of the IRGC intelligence department of Sistan and Balouchestan, Seyed Ali Mousavi, was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital, a statement said.

Earlier, the governor of Sistan and Baluchestan province, Hossein Modarres Khyabani, announced that 19 people were killed and 20 others wounded in an attack on a police station in the city of Zahedan, southeast of Iran.

According to Khyabani, some rioters affiliated with terrorist and separatist groups attacked security forces on Friday, pointing out that the rioters attempted to take control of a police station and set fire to public properties, including banks, stores, and governmental centers.

Iranian news agency IRNA cited an informed security source as saying that two elements of a terrorist group were killed in the Friday clash.

The source explained that the two terrorists tried to provoke people to destroy public properties and kill civilians and security forces.
