terrorist outfit and completely dismantle it in a southeastern Iranian town, a senior IRGC commander says.

"A terrorist team, which we had engaged a few days ago in the town of Qasr-e Qand, was completely dismantled today after the killing of five more of its elements," Commander of IRGC’s Ground Force Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour told Fars news agency on Sunday.

He added that two members of the terrorist group had been killed after the operation launched in Qasr-e Qand town in the province of Sistan-and-Baluchestan on Thursday.

The remaining members had fled to nearby mountains, but were killed during festivities with the intelligence teams of the Qods Headquarters of the IRGC ground forces, he noted.

The senior IRGC commander said the identity of the turbans has not been determined yet, adding, "The turbans were members of the [so-called] Ansar al-Furqan group and their identities are under investigation."

Pakpour emphasized that no IRGC member was killed or injured in the operations.

The IRGC said in a Thursday statement that its Qods Headquarters had dispatched its units to Qasr-e Qand after obtaining information about the presence of a Takfiri terrorist group in the area and engaged the group in mountainous areas.

"During the anti-terror operation, the IRGC's Qods Headquarters fighters destroyed a vehicle laden with 600 kilograms of explosives, and seized five bombs ready to be used in suicide kabooms, 700 kilograms of explosives, tens of thousands of bullets and a number of weapons and ammunition," the statement read.
