It is unclear if the attack was linked to the anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in police custody which led to the outbreak of nationwide protests

Gunmen opened fire on a group of paramilitary forces in southern Iran, killing one of them and wounding another three, state media reported Sunday.

The official IRNA news agency said the attack targeting members of the paramilitary Basij occurred late Saturday in the town of Nourabad, some 630 kilometres south of the capital, Tehran. The anniversary saw a heavy deployment of Iranian security forces in Tehran as well as Kurdish areas, where rights groups said there was a general strike.
