PESHAWAR,
Sept 7 (IslamOnline) - Two Afghani women were injured when the Afghani
and Pakistani forces clashed at the Turkham gateway on the border
between the two countries.
Eyewitnesses
told IslamOnline on Saturday, September 7 that the clashes took place on
Friday evening, September 6, when the Pakistani forces, in the Khaybar
area that is located on the border, refused to allow Shah Mohammad, the
leader of the Afghani forces on the borders, to enter a truck of Afghani
carpets illegally into the Pakistani territories.
They
said that this angered the Afghani leaders who then ordered his forces
to open fire towards the Pakistani forces as soon as he went back to his
trench and a number of RBJ 17” missiles were fired at the Pakistani
buildings, damaging a few of it.
The
Pakistani forces, the eyewitnesses said, responded to the Afghani forces
leading to the injury of two Afghani women.
The
exchange of gunfire continued for nearly 35 minutes, which led to the
closure of the Turkham gateway stopping travelers from passing through
till late at night.
