CARACAS: A Colombian national was killed and 14 others arrested in a clash with the Venezuelan military in the restive border state of Tachira, the military said.
The Colombian, identified as William Molina, was described as a "suspected paramilitary" in a Twitter message late Wednesday by National Guard chief Vladimir Padrino.
Padrino said 14 people were arrested with handguns and rifles.
He gave no details on the circumstances surrounding the clash.
It was unclear whether the incident was linked to protests against the leftist government of President Nicolas Maduro, or to the smuggling and guerrilla activities that are rife along the 2,200-kilometer (1,370-mile) border Venezuela shares with Colombia.
