Two Pakistani officials go missing in Afghanistan

ISLAMABAD: Two officials from Pakistan's consulate in eastern Afghanistan have gone missing during a road trip, Islamabad said Sunday, urging Kabul to ensure their safety.

The incident came days after a visit by UN chief Antonio Guterres to war-torn Afghanistan.

"Two officials of our Jalalabad Consulate General are missing since June 16 while commuting to Pakistan by road," a foreign ministry statement said.

"The matter has been raised with the relevant Afghan authorities, who have informed that all efforts were in hand to probe the incident."
