According to the latest news from the Abu Nasr Farahi border crossing, a fire broke out in the bazaar and customs of Mil 78 and 2 fuel tankers were completely burnt. Currently, with the help of the Fire Department of South Khorasan Province in Iran, this fire has been contained and the cause and damages of this incident are still being investigated.
