Afghanistan has strongly reacted to Defense Minister Khawaja Asif’s recent statement threatening Kabul with sending troops across the border to target militants, warning Islamabad of “consequences.”
In a statement, interim Afghan Defense Ministry spokesperson Enayatullah Khwarizmi called Khawaja Asif’s statement irresponsible and an attempt to “muddy the waters.”
“It’s necessary for the leadership of Pakistan not to allow anyone to make such sensitive statement on sensitive issues,” Khwarizmi said on X, adding that such remarks will not be in the interest of anyone.
“Anyone who violated our border under any pretext will be responsible for the consequences,” he warned.
