CHITRAL: At least six citizens, including one woman, were injured by unprovoked firing of Afghan forces along the Chitral border on Tuesday, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported.

According to the ISPR, the Pakistan Army responded with retaliatory firing after the Afghan security forces fired mortars and heavy machine guns from Nari District in Kunar province.

The shelling from the Afghan security forces targeted the civilian population in Arundu village.

Pakistan troops responded effectively and targeted Afghan Border posts Kandkxi and Dilbar from where the attack was being initiated.

The exchange of firing, however, stopped once the military authorities of both countries spoke over a telephonic call.
