Pakistani Youth Killed in Missile Strike in Iran, Repatriation Efforts Underway

Tehran: A 26-year-old Pakistani युवक, identified as Yasir Khan from Karachi’s Mauripur area, was killed in a missile strike in Iran.

According to family members, the incident occurred at the port city of Bandar Abbas, where Yasir was working on a tugboat at the time of the attack. His brother, Wajid Khan, stated that the attack took place on the night of March 23 while Yasir was on duty, leading to his death.
