Pakistani troops destroy five Afghan border posts, kill 50 soldiers: Army

‘The Pakistani army says it has destroyed up to five Afghan border checkpoints and killed 50 security personnel in retaliation to a recent alleged Afghan cross-border attack on Pakistan, which left several people dead.
Pakistan’s Balochistan Frontier Corps Inspector Major General Nadeem Ahmed announced the news on Sunday, adding that more than 100 members of Afghan security forces had also been wounded in the cross-border operation.
“We are not pleased to announce this but the Afghan commanders are responsible for this,” he told reporters in reference to Chaman border’s deadly incident.
On Friday, Pakistani officials claimed that Afghan troops had launched a cross-border attack on a group of Pakistani government employees, who were carrying out census operations in the villages of Killi Luqman and Killi Jahangir on the Pakistani side of the border. The troops, who were escorting the employees, also came under attack, Islamabad claimed.’
