Three Afghan civilians were killed in a border clash between Pakistan and Afghanistan security forces late Monday, a spokesman for the Islamic Emirate said on Tuesday.
The clashes took place near the border crossing of Torkham after Pakistani border forces opened fire on Afghan border forces, said Abdul Mateen, the interior ministry’s spokesman.
He said Pakistani forces targeted civilian homes, killing a woman and two children.
Pakistan’s military has not yet commented.
However, Reuters reported that three Pakistani paramilitary troops were wounded in the fighting.
Clashes regularly break out between forces along the disputed Durand Line, which was drawn up during British colonial rule.
