There was a fierce clash on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan on Saturday night, in which both the countries suffered heavy losses. Pakistan has claimed that it has killed more than 200 Afghan Taliban fighters, while 23 Pakistani soldiers were also killed. Afghanistan says that apart from killing 58 Pakistani soldiers, it has also captured 25 Pakistani army posts.
Operation stopped after intervention of Saudi Arabia and Qatar
Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the operation against Pakistan was halted at 12 midnight on Saturday when Saudi Arabia and Qatar intervened. He said, ‘The situation on all the borders of Afghanistan is completely under control and illegal activities have been stopped to a great extent.’
Claim of capturing 25 Pakistani posts
Mujahid said in the press conference that Afghan forces have captured 25 military posts of Pakistan. Earlier this week, Afghan officials accused Pakistan of bombing the capital Kabul and a market in the eastern part of the country, although Pakistan has not acknowledged these incidents.
‘We want peace, but if needed there are options’
Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaki, who is visiting India, said that Afghanistan wants peace in the region. He said, ‘Our doors are open for talks. We have brought peace in Afghanistan and are trying for peace in the entire region. We want a peaceful resolution to the situation, but if peace efforts are not successful, we also have other options.
Pakistan claimed to have captured 19 Afghan posts
According to information received quoting Pakistani security sources, Pakistan has captured 19 Afghan military posts and ‘terrorist hideouts’ in retaliation. Pakistan has described these attacks as ‘unprovoked action by Afghan forces’.
Afghanistan’s answer to TTP
Muttaki asked Pakistan to control the problem of increasing extremism in its country. He claimed that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has no bases in Afghanistan.
Statement also given regarding relations with India
When Muttaqi was asked whether Pakistan intensified the attack because Afghanistan was moving closer to India, he said, ‘Ask this question to Pakistan. We have no problem with anyone. Our heart is big.
