The shells fired from Afghanistan’s eastern Khost province landed in Ghulam Khan village near Miranshah region late Sunday night, but no casualties or damage to properties was reported in the incident.
Pakistani security forces on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border retaliated by firing artillery and mortar shells towards the direction from where the rockets had been fired at them.
The incident came a day before a meeting of the tripartite commission comprising Pakistani, Afghan and ISAF officials in Islamabad over border security issues.
Earlier on Sunday, a delegation of senior US, Afghan and Pakistani military officials met in Pakistani town of Rawalpindi to discuss border security cooperation and reopening of blocked Pakistan-based NATO supply routes to Afghanistan.
Islamabad and Kabul also on several occassions have blamed each other for firing mortar shells into each other’s territories.
