The murkier part seems more due to the conflicting reports coming in about the casualities. Earlier it was x afgan and y nato casualities and nothing from the Pakistani side. Now it is totally different and the casualities are only from the Pakistani side and nothing from the ANA. If at all it was Nato and ana attacking then at least the latter version looks more plausible that there were only pakistani casualities.
It is anyway a given that this is an indication to pa and isi of the repurcussions of having bitten more than they could chew over the last couple of months.
From the link about three Pak soldiers killed:
An Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement confirmed the death of one Pakistani soldier in the shelling.The statement said three Pakistani soldiers and some civilians were injured in what it termed “unprovoked shelling of the Afghan National Army on Pakistani side of the border”.
I think the paper combined the killings and injuries in the headlines. The rest of the sources have been quite clear.
