In a statement released on Monday, the Public Relations Office of the IRGC Ground Force’s Quds Headquarters announced that a terrorist cell that had been previously identified and placed under intelligence surveillance was intercepted in an ambush before it could carry out its planned terrorist act.

The terrorist group had planned to launch terrorist attacks against the bases of security forces deployed in the region to defend against the invading enemy, as well as to block the road connecting Zarabad and Konarak counties, it added.

During this operation, one terrorist was killed, and several others were arrested, while the remaining elements, who fled the scene, are currently being pursued.
