KABUL (SW) – The UN children agency UNICEF has confirmed the deadly air strike by Pakistan killing scores of civilians, including children in Afghanistan without naming the aggressor.
Khost security officials also confirmed the Pakistani military’s attack on four villages in the province, Mandar, Amir Sapar, Pasi Mila and Shakuni. Khost police spokesman Mostaghfar Gerbaz told Salam Watandar that the attack also resulted in casualties, but that the exact number was not yet clear.
Meanwhile, Najibullah Hanif, Kunar’s director of information and culture, told Salam Watandar that the Pakistani military had been carrying out artillery attacks in the Sheltan, Marwara and Nari districts of the province for the past three days.
He added that last night Pakistani military attacks on the Sheltan district of the province targeted residential areas and as a result five people, including women and children, were killed and another was wounded in the shelling.
The head of information and culture of Kunar says that the officials of the local administration of this province have shared this issue with the central officials of the Islamic Emirate and are trying to solve it.
It should be noted that Pakistan has been launching rocket attacks on Afghanistan’s border areas for years, especially in a number of Kunar districts, which have often resulted in casualties and financial losses.
