Pakistan said it has shared intel with Iran on the safe havens of Pakistani origin terrorists calling themselves 'Sarmachars' on their territory.
Pakistan said it had to step in because Iran did not take adequate action. The morning action was taken in light of credible intelligence, Islamabad said.
Iran targeted two bases of Jaish al-Adl in Pakistan's Balochistan, which Islamabad called blatant breach of its sovereignty.
Blacklisted by Iran as a terrorist group, it was formed in 2012 and has carried out several attacks on Iranian soil in recent years.
