High-level committee to probe Pakistan-Afghanistan cross-border attack

QUETTA – Islamabad, and Kabul have decided to form a high-level committee to probe the deadly cross-border attack, that caused causalities on both sides at Chaman’s Spin Boldak.

The skirmishes started when an attacker coming from the Afghan side shot a Pakistani security force member, killing him and wounding others.

Amid the high tensions between the two sides, the Taliban-led administration expressed concern regarding the terror incident.

Reports in local media said a probe is underway while no arrests have been made so far.

Earlier, Pakistani authorities approached the Afghan government for a ceasefire in the area. Meanwhile, Bab-e-Dosti, which connects Balochistan to Kandahar, has been closed for all kinds of trade and pedestrian movement.
