Kabul – Pakistan and Afghanistan exchanged cross-border attacks last night. This has significantly escalated tensions. Pakistan’s Defense Minister stated on Friday that the two countries are in an “open war.” The German News Agency (DPA) quoted Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.
He commented on these developments in a televised message from Kandahar on Friday. Mujahid said, “We targeted important military sites in Pakistan.” He added, “This sends a message that our hands can reach their throats.” “We will respond to any evil act by Pakistan.” Mujahid further stated that Pakistan “has never sought to resolve problems through dialogue.”
