Fars reports that festivities took place on the Iranian side of the border, in the Shaghalak area of Hirmand country, in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
"A border violation by the Taliban took place today," Barazandeh says, adding that "our forces gave the necessary response," and that there "were no casualties" on the Iranian side.

A statement issued by Afghanistan’s Nimroz provincial information center blamed Iranian border guards for the incident.
"Iranian border forces fired at a patrol of our border forces in Kang district of Nimroz province," the statement says.
"After that they (Iranian forces) fired in the area with light and heavy weapons. In this shooting, one of our border force personnel was martyred and another injured," it adds.
Iran, like many other nations, has so far not recognized the new government formed by the Taliban after it took power amid a hasty withdrawal by US-led foreign forces in August 2021.
