Kabul/Sputnik: Three Afghan customs officers were killed on Tuesday in an attack by the Taliban militant group in the Herat region bordering Iran, a provincial police spokesman told Sputnik.
"The incident occurred at noon today in the area belonging to the Herat-Kahsan Highway," Abdul Ahad Walizada said.
The western Afghan province has flourished after being charged with collecting duties for Afghanistan from its robust trade with Iran. The Islamic Republic built a highway from the regional capital to its border, highlighting Herat's importance.
