Pakistan expels Iran envoy

Pakistan has expelled the Iranian ambassador in that country, saying that the ambassador who is visiting the country will not be allowed to return.

On Wednesday, the Pakistan foreign ministry has suspended all ongoing and planned high-level visits between Pakistan and Iran in the coming days.

The development comes a day after Iran launched unprecedented missile and drone strikes on terrorist bases of a Sunni militant group in the restive Balochistan province, which allegedly killed two children and injured three others.

Pakistan condemned the missile strike and denounced the attack as a “blatant violation” of its airspace.
