The injured were moved to a hospital in Karachi, while Yasir’s body was being transported to his residence via an Edhi ambulance.
Yasir’s body was handed over to Pakistani authorities at the Taftan border, after which it was delivered to his family. Following the necessary documentation, the body was sent to Karachi.
His family members and the families of the injured had reached the Taftan border a day earlier. Representatives of the Balochistan government were also present with the families.
Yasir, a resident of the Maripur area in Karachi, had gone to Iran six months ago on a work visa.
He was working on a tugboat at Bandar Abbas Port in Iran when a missile targeted his boat, resulting in his death.
