Armed group kills 5 Iranian border guards near Pakistani border.

Five Iranian border guards were killed and two were wounded in a clash with an unknown armed group trying to enter the country near the Pakistani border. The militants fled the area with casualties, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The area is one of the least developed parts of Iran, and the relationship between the predominantly Sunni residents of the region and Iran’s Shiite theocracy has long been fraught.
