Iranian security forces shot dead six militants in a clash in southeastern Iran on Saturday, a day after five police officers were killed by gunmen in the restive region.

Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, Iran's southeast has been the scene of sporadic clashes between security forces and armed groups, including Sunni militants and separatists who say they are fighting for greater rights and autonomy.

Tehran accuses some of them of ties to foreign powers and involvement in cross-border smuggling and insurgency.
