The Pakistani Army allegedly fired projectiles into Afghanistan on Thursday, even as delegations from both countries met in Turkey to resume peace negotiations aimed at stabilising their fragile ceasefire.
“Pakistan used light and heavy weapons and targeted civilian areas," an Afghan military official told news agency AFP.
“We have not retaliated yet, out of respect for the ongoing negotiations," the official added.
Afghan and Pakistani negotiators are resuming peace talks in Turkey on Thursday, aiming to prevent a return to hostilities following their worst clashes in years.
Relations between the neighbours have soured in recent years, with Islamabad accusing Kabul of harbouring militant groups that carry out attacks in Pakistan, claims that the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan deny.
Afghanistan has also claimed that Pakistan harbours and supports an offshoot of the terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS) who carry out attacks inside Afghanistan.
