Afghans Ready to Retaliate Against Pakistan Missile Attacks 
Afghan Defence Ministry is ready to retaliate against Pakistan's missile attacks in the best possible way, a senior Afghan military official said on Wednesday.
At a press conference Defence Ministry Spokesman Gen. Zaher Azimi said around 150 missiles fired from Pakistan have landed in different regions in eastern Kunar province in the past week.
Gen. Azimi said the Pakistani missile attacks are not justifiable.
He said Afghan Defence Ministry is waiting for a decision from politicians and the House of Representatives.
"The National Army is prepared to retaliate with a suitable response if we are permitted by Afghan politicians," Gen. Azimi said. "Not only the National Army, Kunar residents would be able to give an appropriate response to such an act."
"We are making efforts to resolve the issue through diplomatic approaches."
Twenty civilians have lost their lives and some have been wounded in the attacks, according to the Defence Ministry.
Pakistan keeping up its missile attacks against Afghanistan would deteriorate relations between the two nations, Gen. Azimi said.
The Defence Ministry says it was shocked to hear about the attacks.
"I see no reason for such an attack from Pakistan. There hasn't been any attack by our troops. Without any apparent reason, they have started to fire heavy arms and most of those killed in the attacks have been civilians," Gen. Azimi said.
This is not the first time that Pakistan is targeting provinces located close to long and porous borders.
Yesterday the Afghan House of Representatives strongly criticised government's silence towards the Pakistani attacks.
