Afghanistan has warned Pakistan not to launch any military operation against its territory and reiterating its call on Islamabad to take action against militant groups operating from Pakistan.
“If Pakistan takes any action against the international law and disregards Afghanistan’s territorial integrity, the Afghan government and Afghanistan security and defensive forces are fully ready to defend the country and deliver harsh response to it,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) spokesman, Ahmad Shekib Mustaghni, said on Thursday.
He added that Pakistan has responded positively to a recent list, handed to the government in Islamabad, of terrorist camps and a number of high-profile militant leaders handed by Afghanistan to Islamabad.
On Monday, the Afghan ambassador to Pakistan, Omar Zakhelwal, handed Pakistan a list of 32 terrorist training camps and the names of 85 militants that Kabul believes are operating against it from Pakistani soil.
On the possibility of military intervention by Pakistan on Afghan territory, a MoFA spokesman said that Pakistan should expect strong retaliation from the Afghan army if it disregarded the country’s sovereignty.
