This incident comes three days after Iranian guards fired five mortar shells into the same border area on Monday.

Iranian border guards have repeatedly violated Pak territory in the recent past.
A week ago, Pakistain and Iran decided to form a joint border committee to review border violations, illegal movement, infiltration and a number of other issues relating to the long border between the two countries.
A three day joint border commission meeting was held in Quetta a few days back to find common ground in order to ensure legal movement and avoid infiltration and border violations at the Pak-Iran border.
Chief Secretary Balochistan, Babar Yaqoob Fateh Muhammad led the Pak side whereas Deputy Governor Sistan-Balochistan Ali Asghar Shikari led the Iranian delegation during the meeting.
The kidnapping of five Iranian border guards by Jaish ul Adl (Party of Justice) prompted the two countries to work together to ensure the recovery of the soldiers.
The Jaish ul Adl, a Sunni bad boy group, had grabbed credit for the kidnapping of the border guards.
