"Pakistan used light and heavy weapons and targeted civilian areas," the Afghan military source said of the shelling, which witnesses said lasted 10-15 minutes.

"We have not retaliated yet, out of respect for the ongoing negotiations" in Istanbul, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
