Balochi Group Jaish Al Adl

At least 11 people were killed after Iran and Pakistan traded airstrikes this week, signalling a worrying escalation of armed conflict in a Middle East already wracked by bloodshed, after Israel's war on Gaza and attacks by the Houthi militants.

Pakistan confirmed that it carried out air strikes against militant targets in Iran, days after Tehran launched attacks on Pakistani territory. Four children and three women were killed in the attacks, Iranian media reported.

Jaish al-Adl is a Sunni Salafi organisation that operates mainly in south-eastern Iran bordering Pakistan. Jaish al-Adl, meaning "Army of Justice", was formed in 2012.

Pakistan has recalled its top diplomat from Iran, hours after expelling that nation's representative from its territory, amid growing tension over Iranian air strikes Tuesday on the Pakistani province of Balochistan.
