An Iranian border guard officer was killed during an armed confrontation with drug traffickers in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchestan.
The clash occurred during an operation targeting drug smuggling activities near provincial capital of Zahedan early Thursday.
The traffickers, heavily armed, initiated gunfire, prompting a fierce exchange that lasted for hours. Eventually, they fled using the cover of darkness and mountainous terrain.
The operation resulted in the seizure of over 400 kilograms of narcotics, along with weapons and ammunition.
