Afghan officials in Kunar province on Saturday blamed the Pakistan Army for firing 38 missiles into the province in the past 48 hours.
Officials of eastern Kunar province said the missiles landed in the Dangam and Shegal districts of the province, but no casualties occurred.
Abdul Habib Sayedkhili, Kunar police chief, said, “1,466 missiles have been fired into Afghanistan from Pakistan this year, killing 18 civilians, wounding 18 others.”
Swat terrorists fled to Kunar and Nuristan provinces after they were defeated by Pakistan Army and they frequently try to cross the border into Pakistan resulting in exchange of firing. New Taliban chief Mullah Fazlullah alias Mullah Radio is reported to be hiding in Kunar province.
