A joint operation by the Police forces of the city of Khash and the intelligence forces led to the spotting of a secret passage at a house in the vicinity of two major military and security headquarters, dug by the hostile groups planning acts of sabotage, Police said on Thursday.

After search of the house, the security forces found a 20-meter-deep tunnel running 30 meters to the nearby bases.
