"Fifteen to 20 missiles have been fired onto Charburjak district of Nimrooz province in the past two days. There were no reports of casualties," said Mohammad Sarwar Subat, an official in the governor’s office in Nimrooz, which shares a border with Iran and Pakistan.

Subat said the missiles had destroyed property in Charburjak district.



Iranian officials denied firing any missiles into Afghanistan, according to Javed Lodin, Afghanistan's deputy foreign minister in Kabul. He said the Iranians told him that they are conducting military training on their own soil.
