At least three people were killed on Tuesday when mortar shells fell on houses in North Waziristan, officials said. Security officials said the casualties took place in Miranshah, the headquarters of the agency, where terrorists attacked a checkpost. Officials said security forces retaliated against the militant attack during which few mortar shells landed on nearby houses, killing three people and injuring nine others, including women and children. Local people and army troops moved the injured to Miranshah hospital for treatment, the officials added.
