Iran launched a missile attack apparently targeting militant bases in western Pakistan which killed two children, officials in Islamabad said.

The operation targeted the militant group Jaish al-Adli, which Tehran's foreign minister described as an "Iranian terrorist group" in Pakistan.

The attack occurred in Balochistan, and comes after Iran attacked targets in Iraq and Syria earlier this week.

Pakistani officials said two children were killed and three others injured.
