(AP) — Iran launched attacks Tuesday targeting what it described as bases for the militant group Jaish al-Adl.
The state-run IRNA news agency said missiles and drones were used in the attack.
Pakistan did not immediately acknowledge the attack.
Jaish al-Adl is a Sunni militant group that largely operates across the border in nuclear-armed Pakistan.
