Kabul: On July 31, an Afghan police official said that clashes between Taliban forces and Iran border guards left at least one dead on the Afghanistan side. “We have one killed and one wounded; the cause of the clash is not clear yet,” the police spokesman of the southern Afghan province of Nimroze, Bahram Haqmal, stated. Iran’s news agency said clashes broke out after Taliban forces tried to raise their flag “in an area which is not Afghan territory”.
