Chaman: A Frontier Corps soldier was martyred and two others were injured on Sunday during a cross-border attack from Afghanistan in Balochistan’s Chaman district.
According to Levies officials, Afghan security personnel allegedly opened fire on the FC personnel while they were on duty in the Pakistani part of Bab Dosti near Chaman.
As a result of the attack, during the exchange of fire between the security personnel of the two countries, one FC official was martyred while two others were injured.
After the incident, the Pakistani authorities contacted the Afghan government for a ceasefire in the area. Meanwhile Bab Dosti has been closed to all trade and pedestrian movement.
A flag meeting was held between the officials of the two countries, during which the Pakistani officials made it clear that Dosti Gate will remain closed until the attackers are handed over to them.
However, the Afghan authorities maintained that unknown terrorists in the guise of Taliban attacked the security personnel in Pakistan.
