Video: Pakistan: several dead after shelling at border with Afghanistan

STORY: Pictures from the Pakistani city of Chaman, near the border with Afghanistan. Heavy gunfire and artillery shelling by Afghan border troops killed at least seven civilians and injured others here on Sunday. As the Pakistani army reported. This man claims to have observed the incident: “There was fighting between the Taliban and Pakistani forces. A grenade came flying from the Afghan side and the vehicle there caught fire. They are now trying to put out the fire. Several people are wounded. We have heard that there are also dead people.” Pakistani forces retaliated at the Chaman border crossing in southwestern Balochistan province, the statement said. An Afghan official said the incident was an accident and the situation returned to normal after the two sides met. No casualties were reported on the Afghan side. Afghan security sources have heard that Pakistani forces have called on Afghan military personnel to halt the construction of a new checkpoint on their side of the border. Then it was then gotten to the shelling. The busy Afghan border crossing at Chaman, which is used for trade and transit, has meanwhile been closed. The border crossing was paralyzed for several days after similar clashes last month.
