Islamabad: Afghan ambassador to Pakistan Dr. Omar Zakhilwal on Monday rejected Pakistani forces killed 50 Afghan soldiers and border security personnel in Chaman, saying only two soldiers died and seven were wounded.
In a series of tweets, the envoy said, “Woke up to celebratory front page headlines today on all Pakistan papers saying Pakistan killed 50 Afghan soldiers and injured 100 in Chaman clash.”
He added that Pakistan’s claims were based on information provided by the country’s Army and the Frontier Corps (FC) south command.
Meanwhile, Pakistan and Afghanistan started a joint survey following last week’s deadly clashes along the disputed boundary. The two sides agreed to conduct a geological survey of the villages to “remove discrepancies”.
