In Afghanistan, at least two people were killed, and eight others were injured today after the Pakistani military fired 85 artillery shells into Kunar province. Afghanistan’s Information and Culture Department spokesperson Zia-ur-Rahman Spinghar said that the Pakistani military fired 85 shells over the past 24 hours. According to the spokesperson, Afghan forces, in response, destroyed three Pakistani posts in Sarkano district’s Nawapas area along the Durand Line, killing one Pakistani soldier.
On Sunday, the Taliban had accused Pakistani forces of firing on civilians in Afghanistan’s Kunar and Paktika provinces, killing one person and injuring another. The developments came despite a ceasefire announced by Afghanistan and Pakistan on the occasion of Eid.
