The clashes occurred on the 1st of December, the cross-border fighting saw troops of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan capture several checkpoints on the Iranian side of the international border. The clashes ended later that day, after the two sides promptly came to an agreement that saw the Taliban force withdraw from all captured Iranian territory.
