JERSUALEM (AP) — An Iranian strike on targets inside Pakistan killed two “innocent children” and wounded three others. Islamabad called the attack an “unprovoked violation” of the country’s airspace. Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement confirming the attack Tuesday, first announced by Iranian state media reports that later were withdrawn. The reports said the strike targeted bases of a Sunni militant group. The attack further raises tensions in a Middle East already roiled by Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The attack also threatens the relations between the two countries, which long have eyed each other with suspicion while maintaining diplomatic relations.
