In a statement, FO spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said the Afghan envoy was called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while Pakistan s Ambassador to Afghanistan, Ubaid-ur-Rehman Nizamani, delivered a similar demarche to the Afghan Foreign Ministry in Kabul.
The FO said the action was taken after investigations found that Afghan nationals, including one attacker who was captured alive, participated in the assault, adding that the incident once again demonstrated that Afghan soil and Afghan nationals were being used to orchestrate terrorist attacks inside Pakistan.
The attack took place on Saturday when militants belonging to the banned Jamaat-ul-Ahrar launched a coordinated assault on a Pakistan Rangers camp in Karachi.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the attackers detonated an explosive at the main gate before attempting to breach the camp. Rangers personnel responded immediately, killing three militants and arresting one injured attacker, who was identified as an Afghan national.
Three Rangers personnel were martyred and four others were injured in the attack.
Following the incident, security forces launched a sanitisation operation in the area, while roads around Gulistan-e-Jauhar Block 6 were temporarily closed.
The ISPR described Jamaat-ul-Ahrar as an Indian proxy organisation and said Pakistan s security forces would continue counterterrorism operations under the Azm-e-Istehkam campaign, vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice.
Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir expressed condolences to the families of the martyred soldiers and said their sacrifices strengthened the nation s resolve to defend Pakistan against terrorism.
