According to Pak Sahafat news agency, a clash broke out between Iranian border guards and the Taliban over a border misunderstanding in the Shaghalak area near Nimroz province this afternoon.
The story goes that in recent years, walls have been erected inside Iran, a few hundred meters from the border with Afghanistan, to fight against smugglers and miscreants; today, some Iranian farmers have crossed these walls but been inside Iran’s borders, but because of these walls, Taliban forces think their border has been violated.
Following this incident, Taliban forces fired at the Iranians, which was answered by an exchange of Iranian forces.
The clashes are said to have ended and Iran is justifying the Taliban over the border.
