An Azerbaijani border guard has been killed in a firefight with unknown assailants along the ex-Soviet state’s frontier with Iran, the border service said in a statement Monday.
The armed clash occurred Sunday in the southern Lankaran region when unidentified individuals illegally attempted to cross over the border from Iran, the statement said.
“As a result one border guard was killed and a further two were injured,” the border service said.
