Sharjah 24 – Reuters: Two police officers and four attackers were killed when gunmen and suicide bombers stormed a police station in Iran's restive southeast on Saturday, Iranian state television reported.
The attack occurred in Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchistan province, scene of some of the bloodiest protests during a wave of nationwide unrest last year triggered by the death of a young Kurdish woman in the custody of the morality police.

State television said "all four terrorists" and two policemen had died in the raid. A police spokesman said three attackers had died, according to different media reports.

Zahedan has been the scene of weekly protests since the killing of protesters on Sept. 30, 2022, even as unrest has subsided in most other parts of the country.
