Karzai says Pakistan rocket attacks in Afghanistan will negatively impact bilateral relations

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has reportedly warned Pakistan against rocket attacks into Afghanistan territory, saying that it will have a negative impact on bilateral relations between the two countries.

Karzai made the comments after the governor of Kunar province Shuja Malek Jalala alleged that a rocket from Pakistan had hit a house in Marwari district on Jan 31, killing three and wounding five others, including children.

The governor alleged that 17 rocket attacks had been carried out last month in which no one was harmed, but did not mention as to who fired the rockets, the Express Tribune reported.

Meanwhile, the Afghan President strongly condemned Pakistan for launching rockets on Marwari district of Kunar province and said that the launching of rockets from the other side of the Durand Line is against the principles of good neighborliness.
