Kabul, Nov 8
At least six civilians, including women and children, were killed, and five others injured after the Pakistani military struck three residential homes in Spin Boldak district of Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province, local media reported on Saturday.
The latest attack came amid the third round of peace talks between Afghanistan and Pakistan in Istanbul, which reportedly ended in a deadlock.
“You always do this. These are acts of aggression against us. Civilian and commercial infrastructure must not be targeted,” TOLO news quoted an eyewitness, Najibullah, as saying.
Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Friday that the negotiations had been suspended after reaching a deadlock, with no immediate plans to resume talks.
