Wide of trees STORYLINE: Afghanistan said Sunday it killed 58 Pakistani soldiers in overnight border operations, in response to what it called repeated violations of its territory and airspace. Pakistan’s army gave far lower casualty figures, saying 23 troops were killed. The two sides have also skirmished along the border in the past. Saturday night's heavy clashes underscore the deepening tensions. Earlier in the week, Afghan authorities accused Pakistan of bombing the capital, Kabul, and a market in the country’s east. Pakistan did not claim responsibility for the assault. The Taliban government’s chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said Afghan forces have captured 25 Pakistani army posts, leaving 30 Pakistani soldiers wounded. Pakistan has previously struck locations inside Afghanistan, targeting what it alleges are militant hideouts, but these have been in remote and mountainous areas. The Taliban government’s Defense Ministry said early Sunday morning its forces had conducted "retaliatory and successful operations" along the border. The Torkham crossing, one of two main trade routes between the two countries, did not open on Sunday at its usual time of 8 a.m. The crossing at Chaman, southwest Pakistan, was also closed. The two countries share a 2,611-kilometer (1,622-mile) border known as the Durand Line, but Afghanistan has never recognized it. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
