At least six mortar shells were fired from the Afghanistan side of the Pak-Afghan border on Saturday that landed in Pakistan’s bordering area in North Waziristan Agency (NWA), but no loss of life reported.
Security officials said “the six mortar shells were fired from across the border from a check-post of Afghan National Army, landed near the Pakistani check-post in Ghulam Khan Sector in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) at 7:00 AM Saturday”.
The sources said fortunately there was no loss of life and property reported as the shells landed in the fields.
North Waziristan is of one of Pakistan’s tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan. Pakistan and Afghanistan regularly trade allegations of cross-border shelling from both sides of the border.
