Later in the day, Afghanistan’s defence ministry issued a statement refuting the claims of the Pakistani interior ministry that there are hideouts of TTP inside Afghanistan, terming it “false and provocative”.

In the past, such provocative statements and claims have damaged the relationship between the two countries.

We call on Pakistan to share its concerns with the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan (IEA) and resolve the matter through dialogue,” the statement issued by the IEA’s interim Defence Minister Mullah Yaqoub stated.

Afghanistan is not ownerless or without any heirs and like always, is ready to defend its country and the territorial security and its freedom. Any attempt of aggression perpetrated towards Afghanistan will be responded to befittingly. We are well prepared to respond to any offensive,” the statement added.

In a recent interview to a Pakistani news channel, the minister had said Islamabad may target the TTP in Afghanistan if Kabul does not take eliminate them.

When these problems arise, we first ask Afghanistan, our Islamic brother nation, to eliminate these hideouts and hand over these individuals to us, but if that doesn’t happen, what you mentioned is possible,” Sanaullah had said.
