14 Iranian border guards kidnapped in the border with Pakistan

Some sources put the number of the kidnapped forces at 11.
The border guards were from Basij forces, policemen and IRGC personnel, informed sources say.

Later on Tuesday, the IRGC Ground Force's Quds Unit confirmed that "a number of Basij and border forces were abducted by terrorists late on Monday night in the Mirjavaveh border region.”

In a statement, the Quds Unit said the kidnapping was conducted by agents of "anti-[Islamic] Revolution terrorist groups, with the support of foreign [spy] agencies.”

It added that Iranian security and defense forces are in pursuit of the "bandits, terrorists and the enemy’s agents”, and necessary measures to free the abducted forces are underway.

The Quds Unit also called on the Pakistani government to take immediate measures to free the Iranian forces and also put up a serious fight against bandits and terrorists who have nested along Pakistan’s borders and are supported and used by certain reactionary countries of the region.

Mohammad Pakpour, the commander of the IRGC Ground Forces, proposed a joint military operation with Pakistan against "hooligans” to release the kidnapped forces.

"Terrorists have bases inside Pakistan and we are ready for joint (military) operation with the Pakistani army against hooligans to free up hostages,” the commander proposed.
