KABUL - Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) are ready to defend the country if a national decision requires them to do so, a spokesman for Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI), Sediq Sediqi said at a press conference on Monday.
"The Afghan government and other organizations are putting pressure on Pakistan to stop these attacks," Sediqi said in a joint press conference with Brigadier General Gunter Katz.
His statement came after ISAF said that a tripartite meeting was held to discuss the shelling of Kunar's border with Pakistan.

ISAF spokesman General Katz added that "Pakistan, Afghanistan and ISAF have a shared interest to bring peace to the region, particularly to Afghanistan."

In recent months, hundreds of rockets have landed in several districts of eastern Nuristan and Kunar provinces, resulting in civilian casualties and displacement of hundreds of local residents. (Tolo News)
