DUBAI, May 27 (Reuters) - Two were killed and many injured after shooting broke out between Iranian border guards and Taliban fighters near a border post between Iran and Afghanistan, a Taliban spokesman said on Saturday.
It was not immediately clear what had provoked the incident but it comes amid tensions between the two countries over water rights.
Iran has accused Afghanistan's Taliban rulers of violating a 1973 treaty by restricting the flow of water from the Helmand river to Iran's parched eastern regions, an accusation denied by the Taliban.
"Today, in Nimroz province, Iranian border forces fired toward Afghanistan, which was met with a counter-reaction," spokesman for the Taliban-run interior ministry, Abdul Nafi Takor, said in a statement. "During the battle, one person was killed on each side and many were injured."
"The situation is under control now. The Islamic Emirate does not want to fight with its neighbours," the spokesman said, without identifying the victims.
Iran's semi-official Nour News confirmed the death of one Iranian border guard.
