Afghan expatriates in London held a protest march condemning Pakistan's military actions and airstrikes on Afghan territory. Protesters chanted slogans criticizing Pakistan's aggressions and demanded international attention to security along the Durand Line.
In Oslo, Afghans gathered in front of the parliament building to condemn Pakistan's aggressions. They sent a resolution to the Norwegian parliament, the United Nations and the International Criminal Court calling for an end to the violence.
The demonstrations focused on artillery, mortar and heavy weapons attacks by Pakistani forces on residential areas in Asadabad city, Kunar province, on Sunday evening around 5 p.m.
Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, stated on X that the attacks martyred one civilian and wounded at least 16 others, mostly women and children.
Protesters sent resolutions to global bodies urging attention to the Durand Line areas and an immediate halt to such incidents.

Reliability assessment
Single source with direct on-record attribution from named official Hamdullah Fitrat (deputy spokesman, Islamic Emirate) providing concrete details (time, location, weapons, casualty figures); 'Fitrat said X' is reliably verifiable regardless of topic sensitivity. Protests reported with specifics by outlet.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Ariana News: 'military regime of Pakistan' – derogatory term implying illegitimacy and dictatorship; 'aggressions' (tجاوزات) – frames military actions as illegal invasions; 'martyred' (شهید) – religious and emotional valorization of civilian deaths rather than neutral 'killed'.
Independent web corroboration
