The family of a Karachi youth killed in a missile attack in Iran is expected to receive his mortal remains at the Pakistan‑Iran border on Monday.

Speaking to Geo News via telephone, Wajid said that his brothers and family have arrived at the Taftan border to receive his sibling’s body.

He said that the family was in contact with Iranian authorities to collect his brother's body, adding that legal procedures were underway.

Edhi Foundation chief Faisal Edhi told Geo News that all arrangements for transporting the body to Karachi have been completed.

Edhi team is coordinating with the family, and an Edhi ambulance will carry the body from the Taftan border to Karachi, he said.

Edhi added that a camp has been set up at the Taftan border, where Edhi volunteers remain present around the clock to assist the family.
