Afghan sources are very contradictory. When the census team was fired upon, PAKISTANI CIVILIANS around the team, were killed or injured - that obviously hints that they were in PAKISTANI territory.This isn't my point of view brother, my friend's uncle is Kandahar's governor and he told me the story when I asked him questions. At the beginning I also thought that India may be some how behind this because of the latest incident occurred in LOC but you see those APCs captured are well inside Afghan village; what Pakistani census has to do inside an Afghan village.
I am saddened for whatever happened today.
If your story is true, then why are we transporting injured 'Afghan civilians' from an 'Afghan village' (where the Census team was attacked) to a 'Pakistani hospital'. That makes absolutely no sense.
FC personnel escorting the team was most likely ordered to retreat, for the safety of the census team. It seems there was one abandoned APC which was later burnt and destroyed. I could be wrong; but the FC does not use that type of APC and the blue color is used for the police, why would the police be in Afghan territory? The Toyota truck was used to transport the census team and was abandoned as well.
Afghan forces advanced, captured the census team's vehicles and took the village. FC units in the area retaliated and drove out the Afghan forces and took it a step further by taking the fight into Afghan territory and capturing several villages to create a buffer zone, that is when Afghanistan asked for a ceasefire which was accepted by Pakistan shortly after. However, apparently; fighting is still going on in some areas according to locals living there and reporting the ordeal on social media handles.
