Afghan border protection forces have been issued orders to retaliate against any “provocative move by Pakistani forces and militia” across the Pak-Afghan border, .Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI) reportedly said on Sunday.

Afghanistan also rejected Pakistani claims that terrorists had crossed to Pakistan from Afghanistan and called the allegations baseless.

Pakistani military alleges that militants attacked a border post in Balochistan last week and killed a soldier.

The Afghan MoI said Pakistani militia forces suffered casualties after local residents of Shak Kalai, located on the other side of the border, started clashes with Pakistani forces while they were digging ditches.

Shak Kalai is located on the bordering region with Maruf district of southern Kandaharprovince of Afghanistan.
