Pakistan summons Afghan diplomat over cross-border terrorist attack
ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – Pakistan on Wednesday lodged a strong protest by summoning the Afghan Charge d’ Affaires to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after three soldiers were martyred in a cross-border terrorist attack in North Waziristan last night.
70 to 80 terrorists, operating “from bases in Afghanistan” attacked Pakistani troops engaged in fencing operations along the border in Alwara, North Waziristan. Three soldiers were martyred and seven others were critically injured in the incident.
“The Afghan diplomat was informed that Pakistan strongly deplores such provocations which are detrimental to peace and stability along Pakistan-Afghanistan border,” said a statement issued by the Foreign Office.
The Afghan side was urged to take immediate action against the terrorist elements on their side and ensure effective measures so that such incidents are not repeated in future, it added.
