ISLAMABAD/RAWALPINDI: At a time when India is violating ceasefire at Line of Control and Working Boundary, a rocket fired into Pakistan from Afghanistan killed four soldiers and injured several others, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Sunday. The ISPR said four soldiers embraced martyrdom and four others were wounded by heavy weapons fired across the Afghan border in Akhandwala Pass. The injured have been rushed to Khyber Agency’s headquarters hospital. “Pakistani troops befittingly responded and eliminated the group of terrorists,” the statement said. Afghan Ambassador Janan Mosazai was summoned for the second time in a week by the Pakistani government and told “such incidents do not augur well for the positive trajectory of relations,” a statement from the Foreign Ministry said. Afghanistan recently accused Pakistan of not doing enough to arrest Afghan Taliban leaders who have been meeting to decide on a successor to the group’s founder Mullah Omar, whose death was confirmed last month. Kabul officials say the Taliban are meeting semi-openly in Pakistan. Islamabad insists any such meetings are held in Afghanistan. For its part, Islamabad says the leadership of the Pakistani Taliban – a group loosely allied with the Afghan Taliban but fighting mostly against Pakistan’s government – is based in Afghanistan. Last year new Afghan President Ashraf Ghani made closer ties with Pakistan a priority, hoping Islamabad could push Afghan Taliban leaders to the bargaining table to end Afghanistan’s long war. The new relationship appeared to yield fruit last month with groundbreaking first official peace talks with the Taliban. But after the news of Mullah Omar’s death, the process was suspended and the Taliban launched a wave of attacks in Kabul. This is not the first time that a cross border attack has happened on Pak-Afghan border. The attack comes at a time when relations between Islamabad and Kabul started deteriorating in the wake of a surge in Taliban attacks inside Afghanistan and statements of the Afghan leadership against Pakistan. Pakistan had summoned the Afghan ambassador last week to protest over a border clash in which three Frontier Constabulary men were killed on August 16 and 17. Earlier in July, two soldiers were wounded when Afghan National Army fired at Pakistan Army’s position in Angoor Adda area of South Waziristan Agency.
