At least eight members of Iran's elite military have been killed with 20 people wounded in a gun attack during a parade in the southwestern city of Ahvaz, local media have said.
"The terrorists disguised as Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and Basiji (volunteer) forces opened fire to the authority and people from behind the stand during the parade", Governor of Khuzestan Gholam-Reza Shariati said, according to the state news agency IRNA.
This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
A report on Saturday described the assailants as "Takifiri gunmen", a term used previously to describe the Islamic State group. The agency did not elaborate.
