Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 14: Afghanistan on Wednesday confirmed that its Army and Pakistani military were involved in a clash along the international border.
According to Deputy Spokesperson of Afghanistan Bilal Karimi, the clashes took place in the Dand Patan area in Afghanistan’s Paktia province.
Karimi said on Twitter that military facilities, “in principle”, should not be built close to the Durand Line. He further said that a day earlier, the Pakistani military sought to build an outpost there.
“Some Afghan soldiers went to talk to them, but Pakistani soldiers opened fire which caused casualties,” the spokesperson added.
Karimi said that the Taliban also opened fire. He further said that there was a possibility that Pakistani soldiers also suffered casualties.
It was reported a day earlier that at least three Pakistani soldiers were killed when, the army said, the Taliban opened fire in the latest incident that is likely to complicate the relationship between Islamabad and Kabul.
Interestingly, the Pakistani Army called the Taliban soldiers terrorists. Earlier Pakistan called Taliban “Mujahideen”
“Terrorists from across the border continue to pose a security threat to Pakistan despite the Afghan Taliban takeover and promises by the interim government not to allow Afghan soil to be used against its neighbour”, Pakistan Army stated in its official statement.
A statement issued by the military’s media wing of Pakistan said “terrorists from inside Afghanistan, across the international border, opened fire on Pakistani troops in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district”. |
