Pakistan condemns ‘unprovoked’ firing by Afghan forces along border

KARACHI: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday condemned “unprovoked” firing by Afghan forces along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, saying its forces gave a befitting response to the incursions. The firefights broke out along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border late on Saturday when the Afghan Taliban attacked Pakistani posts, according to security officials from both countries. It followed an alleged Pakistani airstrike in Kabul this week. Pakistani security officials said that they were responding “with full force” to what they called unprovoked firing from Afghanistan.
