US weapons in Afghanistan direct threat to Pakistan’s security: FO
Pakistan has urged Kabul to take steps to ensure weapons don't fall into wrong hands
The Foreign Office has voiced serious concerns over the presence of modern weapons in Afghanistan, reacting to the United States' decision to withdraw military equipment left behind after its withdrawal.
Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan stated that these modern weapons pose a direct threat to Pakistan’s security and citizens, as terrorist groups, including the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), have been using them to launch attacks inside Pakistan.
"The presence of advanced weaponry in Afghanistan is a matter of deep concern for Pakistan and its citizens," the spokesperson said. "We have repeatedly urged the Kabul administration to take all necessary measures to ensure these weapons do not fall into the wrong hands."
Shafqat Ali Khan said the purpose of this demand was to ensure peace in Pakistan and the region.
