Local officials in the eastern province of Kunar said on Sunday that cross-border shelling by Pakistani military over the past two weeks have left four Afghan civilians dead, including one woman and three children.
Provincial governor Wahidullah Kalimzai asked the Afghan central government to stop what he described an act of aggression in Afghanistan’s border regions by the Pakistani military forces.
In response to Pakistan’s continued border shelling, the Afghan Ministry of Defense (MoD) has announced the provocations by the Pakistani army as unacceptable and warned Islamabad of severe consequences.
“If these attacks continue, the armed forces and the people of Afghanistan will lose patience and this would not be in the interest of Pakistan,” said a defense ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri.
“At least four civilians including a woman and three children have been killed over the past two weeks because of the missile shelling by Pakistani military forces,” said provincial spokesman Wahidullah Kalimzai.
