BAJUR: The Afghan Taliban carried out an attack on civilians in Bajur district, killing four people and severely injuring a five-year-old child, according to Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ata Tarar. The attack occurred at 3:30pm, when Taliban forces fired mortars and artillery across the border targeting residential areas.
Ata Tarar said the civilians were deliberately targeted in the Salarzai and Tabista Litei areas of Bajur. The deceased were identified as Sajid, Ayaz, Riaz, and Muaz Bhai, while local residents strongly condemned the assault and expressed grief and anger over the incident.
The federal minister emphasized that the Taliban are intentionally attacking innocent civilians and collaborating with terrorist groups such as Fitna-ul-Khawarij to carry out operations. He stated that such attacks constitute serious violations of international law and fundamental human rights.
Tarar also highlighted that under Operation Ghazab Lil Haq, Pakistani forces have effectively pressured the Taliban and other militants. He confirmed that the responsible Taliban posts and infrastructure are being targeted with strong and appropriate retaliation for the cowardly and heinous attack.
