Border firing ends as Afghan military admits mistake
[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Hostilities on the border near Chaman ended late on Friday afternoon after a hotline conversation between Pakistain and Afghanistan’s directors general of military operations (DGMOs) during which the Afghan official admitted his side’s mistake in identifying the boundary in the area.
"Afghan director general, military operations, acknowledged that border is in between villages and not at the ditch... as being perceived by them," an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement on the conversation between the DGMOs said. It noted that the Afghan official had agreed that the ditch was well inside Pak territory.
