Pakistan has denounced the random and unjustified shooting of civilians by Afghan border forces in Chaman, which resulted in the deaths of six Pakistanis and the injuries of seventeen others. S such tragic instances, according to Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch in a news statement, are not consistent with the fraternal ties between the two nations and claimed that the Afghan government has been notified that similar incidents must not happen again and that those involved must face the worst punishment.

According to the spokesperson, protecting the bordering population is both Pakistan’s and Afghanistan’s obligation. She noted that in order to prevent further tensions in the situation and repetition of similar situations, the relevant authorities from both nations continue to be in communication.

During Afghan forces’ cross-border shelling along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Chaman, Balochistan, at least five Pakistani civilians were killed and 17 more were injured.

Prime Minister Shehbaz remarks

The “unprovoked” rocket launch by the Afghan Border Forces that murdered six Pakistanis across the Chaman border was vehemently denounced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday.

Shehbaz expressed his views on Twitter using his official account. He stated that the “unprovoked shelling and fire” merits “the strongest condemnation,” saying that the “unfortunate” incident resulted in the deaths of three Pakistanis and the injuries of more than a dozen others.

The Afghan interim government was encouraged by the prime minister to “guarantee that similar incidents are not repeated.”

Unprovoked shelling & fire by Afghan Border Forces at Chaman resulting in martyrdom of several Pakistani citizens & injuring more than a dozen is unfortunate & deserves the strongest condemnation. The Afghan Interim government should ensure that such incidents are not repeated.
