PakistanPakistani soldier injured in Afghan forces unprovoked firing

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Afghan security forces on Sunday night resorted to unprovoked firing on Pakistani side at Torkham gate which caused injury to a Pakistani soldier.

“Pakistani security forces responded to Afghan firing effectively,” the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a press release.

   

The ISPR said that the firing incident took place at about 2120 hours tonight (Sunday).

It may be mentioned that Torkham is the most frequented crossing point at Pak-Afghan border and recently even most of the terrorists have been found using this gate for entry. In order to check movement of terrorists through Torkham, Pakistan is constructing a gate on own side of the border as a necessity to check unwanted and illegal movement.
