Pakistan has launched multiple rocket attacks on on Sarkano District at Kunar Province in Afghanistan on Friday.
Local media Kabul Now, Tolo News and Khama Press reported this incident citing multiple locals and officials.
However, the Islamic Emirate has condemned the attack by Pakistani forces on Sarkano District in Kunar Province and has called for the cessation of such attacks by Pakistan.
The media quoted Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate, as saying that such attacks by Pakistan on Afghanistan are not in the interest of either side and harm the relations between the two countries.
Mujahid stated: "In Kunar Province, rockets hit certain areas causing casualties. Livestock, in particular, have been killed. We condemn these rocket attacks by Pakistan and demand the cessation of such actions."
Pakistani forces targeted Sarkano District in Kunar with rocket attacks around 1:30 AM last Friday night.
These rockets struck residential homes, resulting in the death of 10 livestock and forcing residents to leave their homes.
Meanwhile, some residents of Kunar Province say that such attacks by Pakistan cause severe problems for Afghan citizens.
They have urged the Islamic Emirate officials to prevent such attacks.
Mahzabullah Mahzab, a resident of Kunar, said: "Sometimes, the Pakistani government carries out attacks that victimize ordinary people."
Parwiz Ghorzang, another resident of Kunar, said: "Pakistan carried out an attack late at night, causing significant difficulties for the people. We urge the government to prevent such attacks."
This comes after Pakistan conducted airstrikes on parts of Barmal District in Paktika Province on December 25, 2024, resulting in the deaths of over fifty local residents, including women and children.
