A group of armed trespassers opened fire at border control officers who attempted to prevent them from crossing the Pyandj River 160 km south of Dushanbe last night.

“Two offenders were killed in a clash, and another trespasser hid in an adjacent territory,” the spokesman said.

Tajik border guards found 60 kg of raw opium and marijuana, two Kalashnikov assault rifles and two cartridges at the scene.
