LAHORE: Pakistani military officials have rejected a recent report published in an online Afghan newspaper 'Khaama Press' which alleges that Pakistani troops fired more than 100 missiles into the Kunar province.
Khaama Press reported that over a 100 missiles fired by Pakistan Army troops landed in Dangam district. In this regard, spokesperson of the Governor of Kunar, Wasifullah Wasifi had reportedly said that no people were injured but property was massively damaged.
When contacted for comment by this scribe, senior officials maintained that Pakistan has never resorted to cross-border shelling "except as retaliaton". The sources said the reality was in actuality the opposite i.e. simultaneous attacks are carried out on Pakistani security forces from the north-eastern Afghan province by miscreant elements.
"The Pakistan Army or any of its related security forces have never carried out offensive attacks into Afghan territory except during retaliation upon attack from the western border", officials maintained. "Furthermore, the number of missiles alleged to have been fired as a defensive mechanism are not in the numbers which have been claimed with exaggeration".
