According to witnesses and other reliable sources, on Sunday night [August 22], around 11:45, several members of security forces clashed with unidentified armed persons on Piruzi Avenue--Coca cola intersection—in the eastern part of the capital.

Shortly after this confrontation a witness present on the scene told IRNA by telephone: “The unknown armed individuals, probably three or four in number, got away with a car.” This witness added: “Fierce gunfire between the security forces and these individuals lasted for some minutes,” adding that “according to the locals two members of the security forces were injured.” He added, “A couple riding a motorcycle were injured in the crossfire.”…

Minutes before, IRNA’s reporter contacted the information desk of the 110th precinct for more details about the incident. Someone who did not identify himself confirmed the occurrence of the clash but did not give any details.

According to witnesses, minutes after the confrontation several cars and more security forces were on the scene. Also, after hearing the gunfire tens of local residents gathered in the coca cola intersection but eventually left the scene.
