At least seven civilians were killed and wounded in Pakistan’s rocket attacks on eastern Kunar province, local officials said.
The spokesman of Kunar governor, Abdul Ghani Mosamem told Reporterly, “Clashes erupted between Afghan border forces and Pakistani military in Nara district at around 16:00PM on Sunday.”
He noted that the clashes started after Pakistani forces attempted to take illegal measures.
“At least three women were killed and four others including a child were wounded in the clashes,” he added.
Mosamem declared that the Afghan security forces had no casualties but the situation is alarming for today.
Pakistan and Afghanistan share a nearly 2,600-kilometer largely porous border.
Afghanistan has long accused Pakistan of sheltering and helping Taliban insurgents, charges Pakistani officials deny.
