TEHRAN– One Iranian soldier was killed, in Iran’s north-western West Azerbaijan province, during a border patrol, a semi-official website reported yesterday.

Conscript serviceman, Reza Hedayati, was hit by a bullet fire on Friday morning, around Mount Bolfat, an area “used as a transit point by terrorists,” Jame Jam Online, which is affiliated with state TV, wrote.

Hedayati was transferred to a medical centre, but died of severe injuries, the outlet added.

Clashes between Iranian security forces and unidentified gunmen, have been frequent for years, in Iran’s western border areas.
