TEHRAN, July 12 – Three policemen have been killed in a clash with members of a “terrorist” group in Iran’s southeastern Sistan and Baluchestan province, the official news agency IRNA reported Saturday.
The confrontation occurred on Friday in Chabahar County, where the militants engaged in an armed exchange with patrol officers. Four officers were injured during the clash, three of whom later died from their wounds, the report said.
The firefight also killed one militant and injured another, the report said.
Sistan and Baluchestan, a province bordering Pakistan and Afghanistan, has been the site of several terrorist attacks targeting both civilians and security forces in recent years.
