Islamabad calls Afghan Angoor Adda account a fabrication
The information ministry dismissed Kabul’s defence account of the Lower South Waziristan border clash, saying Afghan forces fired first and seven of their posts were destroyed.
Afghan forces fired on Pakistani border posts and homes in Lower South Waziristan’s Angoor Adda area on Tuesday, killing one local and injuring five.
Afghanistan’s defence ministry said Pakistan launched drones at Angoor Adda bazaar and a commissioner’s office in Paktika; Islamabad called that a fabrication.
Pakistan’s information ministry said security forces destroyed seven Afghan posts and inflicted heavy casualties and material losses.
KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi condemned the firing and said Pakistan would not tolerate attacks on its people or sovereignty.
