The identities of two Baloch men who were shot after military and security forces opened fire on their vehicle at the junction in the Kheyrabad area of Iranshahr County on the evening of Wednesday, 4 November 2026, have been established.
One man was killed and another was injured in the shooting. Reports also indicate that a relative of the deceased was arrested after visiting the hospital to inquire about their condition.
The man killed has been identified as Farhad Azizi, 29, son of Aslam, from Kand village in the Sarbug district.
The injured man has been identified as Qayum Raisi, son of Lalbakhsh, from Banship village in Qasr-e Qand County.
However, no reliable information has yet emerged about Qayum Raisi's latest condition. It remains unclear whether he is still alive and receiving medical treatment or has died as a result of his injuries.
Following the transfer of the two men to Khatam al-Anbiya Hospital in Iranshahr, Farhad Azizi's father and another close relative travelled from Qasr-e Qand County to Iranshahr to inquire about their condition.
During this visit, security forces reportedly arrested at least one family member, identified as Ehsan Azizi, without presenting a judicial warrant or explaining the reason for his detention. He was subsequently taken to an undisclosed location.
Local sources also reported that military and security forces were stationed outside the entrance to Khatam al-Anbiya Hospital in Iranshahr and were monitoring the movement of people entering and leaving the facility.
According to these sources, security personnel were deployed around the hospital after the shooting victims were brought there and prevented some residents from entering.
Meanwhile, state-affiliated media presented a different account of the incident.
According to these outlets, members of an armed group resisted police officers when confronted and opened fire on them, prompting a response from the police.
Under this version of events, one individual described as the “main perpetrator of the shooting at Iranshahr police officers” was killed during an armed confrontation, while two other suspects were arrested.
However, no independent evidence has so far been made public to substantiate state-affiliated media claims that the individuals targeted in the shooting were armed or had participated in an attack on police officers.
