The Hamzeh Seyyed al-Shohada Base announced in a statement on Thursday that the counterterrorism operation began after a group associated with the anti-Iran and separatist Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan crossed into the northwestern border areas of the country to engage in sabotage and terrorist activities.
The IRGC disclosed that its servicemen were able to identify and monitor the group through intelligence efforts, leading to an ambush that resulted in the complete dismantling of the terror team.
The confrontation occurred in the mountainous areas overlooking the city of Piranshahr, supported by military firepower.
According to the statement, the five-strong terrorist team was entirely neutralized during the operation, with Iranian forces recovering the bodies of the terrorists along with various weapons and equipment, Press TV reported.
The military base cautioned that any efforts to compromise security along Iran’s northwestern borders will be met with a resolute response.
