[Dawn] Afghanistan warned Pakistain Sunday that any further cross-border shelling could significantly harm relations, just days after the leaders of the two strife-torn neighbours met to talk peace.More than 300 heavy artillery shells and rockets were fired from Pakistain into Dangam district of eastern Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
on Friday and Saturday, killing at least four people, provincial front man Wasifullah Wasifi told AFP.
Last month, a barrage of cross-border fire from Pakistain into Kunar forced thousands of villagers to flee their homes, officials said, after Islamabad accused Kabul of giving safe haven to bully boyz who infiltrated to kill 13 Pak soldiers.
Afghanistan and Pakistain typically blame each other for violence by Talibs plaguing both sides of their mostly non-existent border.
Afghanistan's Deputy Foreign Minister Jawed Ludin on Sunday summoned Pakistain's ambassador in Kabul to discuss the latest barrage of periodic shelling across the Durand Line, a foreign ministry statement said.
"Any continuation of such reported shelling against Afghan villages could have a significant negative impact on bilateral relations," the statement quoted Ludin as telling ambassador Mohammad Sadiq.
Both sides agreed to hold a senior-level meeting of military officials soon in Afghanistan's eastern city of Jalalabad over the shelling and improve military coordination along the Durand Line, the statement said.

Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
's office said the issue was raised in a meeting of the national security council on Sunday and security officials were instructed "to put into place all due actions necessary", without elaborating.
Pak Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, in response to a question at a joint news conference with Karzai on Thursday, said Pakistain was also attacked from Afghanistan and the issue had been raised in a meeting between the two leaders.
"Same like, from this side, from Kunar side, we get attacks on our armed forces, on our civilians.
"So we have discussed all these things, and now we have to do our utmost ... to control such happenings," Ashraf said.
