Clashes reported between Iran, Afghanistan's border guards in Nimrouz province
2022-03-09
[Khaama] Sources have confirmed to Afghan media that armed clashes erupted between border guards of Iran and Afghanistan in the Keng district of Nimrouz province on Monday.
Those Afghans are just tetchy folk. Why, if they don’t kill a furriner fer lookin’ at ‘em sideways, they’ll shoot up a houseful of their own kinfolk because the bowl o’pebbles run out in the outhouse and they had to use leaves.
As per sources, four Iranian forces have been reported killed and their vehicle has been destroyed but the Iranian and Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has not commented on the killing yet.

Local residents of the Keng district said that the one-hour armed clashes erupted after Afghan people tried to dig a local channel called Sikhsar.

People say that Iranian border guards opened fire in a bid to stop people digging the channel.

The Iranian and Afghan forces have for a long time been at loggerhead over the channel.

Earlier, armed clashes were reported between the border guards of the two countries.
