South Waziristan: A child was injured in an improvised explosive device blast in the Kalosha area of Birmal, highlighting the continued threat posed by terrorist activity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s tribal districts.
According to local sources, the explosive device had been planted in a civilian area and detonated, leaving the child wounded. The injured was shifted to a medical facility for treatment.
Officials and residents report a recent increase in such incidents, particularly involving landmines and roadside explosives, which are increasingly affecting civilians.
A day earlier in Bajaur, cross-border shelling by Afghan Taliban resulted in the martyrdom of three members of a family, including a woman and two children, while several others were injured. Some of the wounded were shifted to Peshawar for treatment.
In another recent incident from the same district, four brothers were martyred in similar cross-border shelling.
Security concerns remain high as attacks on civilians continue both along the border and within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly in districts including Bannu, North Waziristan, South Waziristan, and Khyber.
