The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan summoned the Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Pakistan in Kabul, and conveyed its protest regarding strikes by Pakistani forces on civilian areas and public infrastructure, including a university in Kunar province, as well as along the Durand Line.
IEA-MoFA vehemently condemns the violation of Afghanistan’s airspace and the attacks against civilians, deeming such actions as a flagrant violation of Afghanistan territorial integrity, a manifest contravention of established international norms, and a provocative undertaking.
The Islamic Emirate categorically rejects allegations that the recent escalation started by the Afghan side, and underscores the imperative that the root causes of the situation must be investigated with due diligence.
Once again, IEA-MoFA underscores that the Islamic Emirate reserves its legitimate right to defend its territory and people, and calls upon the Pakistani side to refrain from such actions, warning that the continuation of such irresponsible actions could precipitate adverse consequences.
