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.
Islamabad said the attack was "illegal" and warned of "serious consequences".
However Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, speaking in Davos, insisted that no Pakistani citizens had been targeted, only members of Jaish al-Adl.
"We only targeted Iranian terrorists on the soil of Pakistan," Mr Amir-Abdollahian said.
He added that he had spoken to his Pakistani counterpart and "assured him that we do respect sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan and Iraq".
...Perhaps stung by recent deadly attacks on home soil, Iran seems intent on exacting revenge on those it sees as responsible.
At a time of heightened regional tensions, Iran is keen to portray strength and demonstrate to its own population that acts of violence will not go unpunished.

Iran has a death wish. Pakistan really does have nukes and they’re almost as nutz as Iran. 😏
Iraq is also condemning an Iranian attack on them. Muslims attacking Muslims, maybe we should just sit back and watch.
