  "summary": "Pakistan’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting dismissed a statement from Afghanistan’s defence ministry on Wednesday regarding firing at the Angoor Adda border area. The ministry termed the Afghan statement a “fabrication of lies,” asserting that Afghan security forces opened unprovoked fire on residential areas and Pakistan Army border posts in Lower South Waziristan on Tuesday, according to the Daily Times.\n\nIn a separate matter, an anti-terrorism court in Peshawar issued arrest warrants on Wednesday for former chief minister Sohail Afridi and four other PTI leaders in connection with the Radio Pakistan attack case. Dawn reports that the supplementary charge-sheet names former provincial ministers Taimoor Saleem Jhagra and Kamran Bangash, PTI Peshawar district president Irfan Saleem, and activist Amir Khan Chamkani.\n\nThe five individuals were not initially named in the FIR or the original charge-sheet. Judge Wali Mohammad Khan directed the issuance of warrants under Section 204 of the Code of Criminal Procedure because the newly nominated accused had not yet been arrested. The hearing has been adjourned until Oct 28 due to the judge's absence.",
