Two border police have been killed and another injured in an apparent Taliban attack in western Farah province Saturday, local officials said.
The attack took place in Farah's Pasht Koh district of the province when a group of insurgents raided a border police outpost, according to the commander of border police in western Afghanistan Shir Ahmad Maladani.
"More security forces have been deployed to the outpost. The forces also supplied more weapons for the outpost. The Taliban insurgents fled from the area after the attack," he said.
No group including the Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Pasht Koh district borders with Iran and insurgents frequently target the border outpost for attacks.
