Taliban forces have once again clashed with Pakistani border guards in the Sarlat area of Shorabak district in Kandahar province, local sources told Afghanistan International on Tuesday.

The sources said both sides used light and heavy weapons during the exchange of fire, though no casualties have yet been reported.

The incident comes just three days after a similar armed confrontation between Taliban and Pakistani forces in the same area.

Neither the Taliban nor the Pakistani government has so far commented on the latest clash.
