At least 22 people were also wounded, most of them civilians, said provincial chief justice Ali Movahedi-Rad, cited by the judiciary’s Mizan Online news outlet.

Mizan reported that the number of dead from the “terrorist attack” in the city of Zahedan had risen to six, revising an earlier toll of five.

A toddler and a 60-year-old woman were among those killed, as well as three soldiers and law enforcement personnel assigned to the courthouse, the head of the province's judiciary told IRNA. He did not identify the sixth dead person. He said the attackers wore explosive vests and carried grenades. It was not clear if they had detonated them.
