An official in eastern Afghanistan says shelling from across the border in Pakistan has killed at least one Afghan border guard.
It's the latest report of cross-border fire that has raised tensions between the two neighbors.
A spokesman for the eastern province of Kunar province says at least 83 rockets have landed in the area. The spokesman, Wasifullah Wasify, says a battle between Afghan and Pakistan border patrols broke out Tuesday morning near a checkpoint in Kunar's Dangam district, across from the Pakistani district of Bajaur.
He says one of the rockets killed a border patrol officer and wounded at least four others.
Pakistan officials had no immediate comment. Islamabad has denied deliberately targeting Afghan territory in fighting militants on its side of the border.
