ISLAMABAD: Afghanistan’s defense ministry on Friday hit back at Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif’s recent statements in which he threatened cross-border attacks into Afghanistan, warning Islamabad it would be responsible for the ensuing “consequences.”

In an interview with a foreign news outlet on Thursday, Asif said “nothing is more important than Pakistan’s sovereignty” when asked whether Pakistan would consider cross-border attacks in Afghanistan to contain militants.
