Nangarhar Protests
Afghanistan: Nangarhar residents protest against Pakistan airstrikes
Nangarhar: Residents of Nangarhar region of Afghanistan on Sunday participated in a rally against Pakistan's recently conducted airstrikes on Kunar and Khost provinces.
The protest in Nangarhar follows a big rally held by the residents of Khost on Saturday evening where they chanted anti-Pakistan slogans, reports Tolo News.
The Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the UN in a statement “strongly” condemned the attack and called it an “aggression against the territorial integrity of Afghanistan” and a “flagrant breach of international law.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday summoned the Pakistani envoy in Kabul over the attacks in Khost and Kunar provinces.
“Along with the IEA Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the session also included Deputy Defense Minister Alhaj Mullah Shirin Akhund where the Afghan side condemned the recent attacks,” the ministry said in a statement as quoted by Tolo News.
Pakistan’s aircrafts bombed civilians’ homes in the Spera district of the southeastern Khost province killing at least 60 civilians, Khaama Press reported.
