The shelling started at 3pm local time on Sunday in Nari district and Afghan forces responded, said the front man for the provincial governor, Abdul Ghani Samim. "Three women have been killed in the shelling and an old man, woman and two children were maimed in the incident," Samim said, adding "the incident happened when missiles hit civilian houses." "The festivities started at 3pm local on Sunday and stopped at 7pm but resumed today (Monday) at 8am and are still continuing," he said. "Pak troops are trying to create check points near the district," he added. Reinforcements have been deployed to the area, according to officials. In the meantime, Afghan MPs on Monday session in a joint statement condemned the Pak attacks on Afghan soil and "called for an immediate stop." "The government, the United States and the international community must address to these issues," the MPs said in a statement.
Sher Zaman Munshi, a member of the provincial council confirmed the incident and said the clash broke out after the Afghan forces prevented the Pak troops intrusion in Do Kalam. Munshi further added that the Pak troops had intruded 300 to 400 meters inside Do Kalam and were attempting to establish military posts. | ||

| #1 Isn't it funny how we get outraged when innocent civilians are killed by Pakistan, while our own far more frequent murders get handwaved away? Have to mow the grass, you know. |
