Two people were killed and one wounded in a "terrorist" attack by "counter-revolutionary groups" in Iran's western province of Kurdistan, the IRNA state news agency reported on Thursday.
The three "were helping locals during the difficult days of fighting coronavirus before being targeted by terrorist groups" on Wednesday night, the agency quoted a Revolutionary Guards statement as saying.
They were a resident, an official with the prefect's office and a member of Iran's Basij militia, it added, without naming them.
The attack took place near the village of Bolbar, the statement said, without specifying which group was responsible.
For much of the past 40 years, Iran has been battling Kurdish militants who use bases in neighboring Iraqi Kurdistan to stage attacks against the Guards and state institutions inside the country.
