His Kunar visit comes while days ago the Pakistani forces launched several cross-border shelling which hit Sarkani district and Asadabad, the capital of Kunar province, leaving several civilians dead and wounded. According to Afghan media, the Pakistani forces have built military establishment at border point between the two counties.
