The Ministry of National Defense of Afghanistan (MoD) has strongly rejected Pakistan’s claim that the recent attack on Chinese nationals in Pakistan was planned from the territory of Afghanistan.

Late last month five Chinese nationals and one Pakistani were killed in a suicide bombing near Besham, in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Inayatullah Khwarazmi, said that Daesh came from Pakistan to the territory of Afghanistan and its goals were organized from there.

He said that Pakistan should respond to these actions.

Khwarazmi, said that in an area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which is under the security of the Pakistan Army, the killing of Chinese nationals is either the weakness of the security institutions or their cooperation with the attackers.

Khwarazmi says that the Islamic Emirate has assured China that Afghans are not involved in such incidents.

The territorial tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan are on the rise again. In the latest issue, Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring terrorist networks.
Pakistan’s intelligence service has claimed that the Besham attack was planned in Afghanistan.

Officials from Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) – Afghanistan’s power utility company said Tuesday government institutions owe them a whopping 1.5 billion afghanis.

Addressing a press conference to report on last solar year’s achievements, officials said they received over 37 billion afghanis in payments last year.

In addition, last year, DABS implemented more than 100 projects in the electricity production sector worth 3 billion afghanis.

They also said they have a five-year plan to move away from dependence on imported electricity.

DABS officials said that from the 37 billion afghanis in revenues last year, part of this was paid to neighboring countries for electricity.

These officials also said there have been improvements in the CASA- 1000 project.

The company is still trying to provide the required electricity from domestic sources, officials said.

These officials add that the work of some half-finished projects has started and the power generation capacity has also increased in the country.

The reconstruction of the substation in Chamtal district of Balkh province at a cost of 68 million afghanis, the start of the 500 KV power line from Shabarghan – Dasht Alwan, the start of the 220 KV power line from Arghandi Kabul to Ghazni and the design of Noor ul Jihad substation are some of their other achievements.
