ISLAMABAD, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Friday that the country was in an "open war" with neighbouring Afghanistan, declaring that Islamabad's patience had run out as tensions escalated overnight, with both sides reporting heavy losses.
"Our cup of patience has overflowed. Now it is open war between us and you (Afghanistan)," he said.
