Five people were killed in an armed clash on the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan, Tajik state media said Thursday.

Citing a statement by the Border Troops of the Tajik State Committee for National Security, state news agency Khovar reported that three people crossed into the country late Tuesday in the Shamsiddin Shohin district of the country's southwestern Khatlon region, and were later located on Wednesday.

“The terrorists refused to obey orders from Tajik border guards to surrender and offered armed resistance. They intended to carry out an armed attack on one of the border posts of the Border Troops of the State Committee for National Security of the Republic of Tajikistan,” the statement said.
