At least 24 terrorist people have been killed, and another 20 people were wounded in an attack perpetrated this Saturday during a military parade in the city of Ahvaz, in southwest Iran, which also caused a twenty injured.
The Islamic State has attributed the attack.
According to the Iranian official agency IRNA, among the fatalities there are several women and children, as well as members of the Revolutionary Guard, and four or five terrorists, who were killed by the security forces.
Among the at least 20 injured are a woman and a child, who were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The attack did not affect any of the authorities present at the parade, said IRNA.
The terrorists fired on the units of the Army and the Guardians of the Revolution that were marching and against the public, but they did not manage to enter the parade area.
According to the Tasnim agency, they opened fire from a nearby building and a place behind the platform where the authorities attending the event were.
The military stop of Ahvaz was celebrated, as in other cities of Iran, on the occasion of the Week of Sacred Defense, which commemorates the war between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988).
The attacks inside Iran are infrequent, although attacks by extremist groups against border guards on the borders of the Persian country with Pakistan or Iraq are common.
The most serious terrorist attack perpetrated recently was in June 2017 in the capital, Tehran, which was claimed by the jihadist group Islamic State (IS).
At least 17 people were killed and more than 50 injured in a double attack on the Iranian Parliament, where for hours the extremists held hostages, and against the emblematic mausoleum of Imam Khomeini.
