JALALABAD (Pajhwok): First Vice-President Abdul Rashid Dostum on Sunday provided cash and food assistance to families of border policemen killed during Torkham border clashes.
A week back, Pakistani forces tried to construct a gate at the border to check what it called terrorist movements, but Afghan border guards resisted the attempt, sparking deadly clashes.
Troops exchanged intermittent firing for at least three days, leaving several security personnel dead and wounded on both sides. Three Afghan border troops were killed in the clashes.
Nangarhar governor’s spokesman, Attaullah Khogyani, told Pajhwok Afghan News . . .
