Pakistan on Saturday lodged protest to the Afghan government over attacks from Kunar and Nooristan against seven Pakistani check posts in Chitral earlier on Saturday in which 25 security forces personnel embraced shahadat.
The Afghan Charge d'Affairs was called in at the Foreign Ministry to lodge a protest on the attacks and was conveyed the imperative of establishing peace and tranquillity in the border region and effectively dealing with terrorists, a foreign office statement issued here on Saturday said.
The activities of the terrorists are a matter of great concern to both the Governments and peoples of Pakistan and Afghanistan. They cannot be allowed to continue such blatant attacks from across the border. It is Pakistan's expectation that ISAF and the Afghan National Army would take effective measures to prevent such incursions by militants from safe havens from across the border in Kunar and Nooristan and to enhance border security, the statement added.
