Condemning the incident, ISPR said that Pakistan has consistently been asking Afghanistan to ensure effective border control on its side.
The development comes as earlier, Pakistan had ejected the remarks made by Afghan Foreign Ministry on TTP’s activities within Afghanistan.
The statement issued by MoFA highlighted that the 12th Report of the UN Monitoring Team, issued in June 2021, acknowledges TTP’s ‘distinctive anti-Pakistan objectives’ and notes its location within Afghanistan ‘near the border with Pakistan.’
