Pakistani military has been shelling eastern provinces of Afghanistan including Kunar and Nuristan province during the past two years. Cross-border shelling also intensified tensions between the two nations, which led to cross-border clashes between Afghan and Pakistani security forces in Goshta district earlier this year.
The clashes left an Afghan border guard dead and three Pakistani military forces were injured after Afghan and Pakistani troops exchanged fire in Goshta district.
Clashes reportedly erupted following unilateral construction and physical reinforcement activities along the Durand Line by Pakistani army.
