Afghanistan’s Interior Ministry denied a report by Pakistan that 50 Afghan forces were killed in a skirmish last week, a spokesman said Sunday.
The border fight erupted in the past few days in Kandahar province and ended with both sides announcing a cease-fire, Najib Danish, a spokesman to the Interior Ministry, said by phone. Pakistan’s army had said it destroyed at least five Afghan checkpoints, the Associated Press reported Sunday.
Danish said fighting killed two Afghan border policemen and wounded 11 others. One civilian died and 30 other civilians were hurt in the rocket attacks from Pakistani forces, the spokesman said.
Pakistani Army Major General Nadeem Ahmad told reporters Sunday at the Chaman border crossing that about 50 security forces died, while two of his soldiers were killed and another nine were wounded, according to the AP.
They also said Mizar-e-Shareef resulted in "around a hundred casualties". As if they couldn't count after 60 so they were at a loss to give an accurate figure.
Look boys, Pakistani soldiers left their uniforms with APCs and both were captured by the Afghan border police:
Sorry for the foul language
They knocked out an APC and recovered a single jacket. What's the point?
If the raid was such a resounding success, why did thy not consolidate their position but rather went for a unilateral ceasefire declaration?
