After suffering setbacks at the hands of the Pakistan Army, Afghan Taliban reportedly began targeting civilian areas. Mortar shells fired by Afghan Taliban fell in the border areas of Salarzai in Bajaur and its surrounding regions.

In the Leti area of Salarzai, a mortar shell fired by Afghan forces landed in a civilian neighborhood, killing four people and seriously injuring one person. The injured individual was immediately shifted to a nearby hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.

There is reportedly strong anger among the people of Bajaur over the attack from Afghanistan. Pakistan’s armed forces are said to be responding strongly to what officials describe as cowardly attacks by the Afghan Taliban.
