RAWALPINDI: Five civilians, including four children and a woman, were injured when the Afghan Taliban resorted to shelling from border areas adjacent to Angoor Adda in South Waziristan.
A mortar shell fired from the Afghan side struck the house of local residents Karim Khan and Rehmatullah. As a result of the mortar shell explosion, five individuals, including four children and
one woman, were injured. The injured children are aged between 3 to 13 years old. All the injured have been shifted to the DHQ Hospital Wana. The sources said that Pakistan Army targeted the firing positions with both light and heavy weaponry. Following the retaliatory action by the Pakistan Army, the Afghan Taliban fled their posts.
It is worth noting that just a few days ago, three people were injured in the same area due to unprovoked firing from Afghanistan.
