Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar says Afghan Taliban regime deliberately targeted civilian population through artillery/mortar fire from across the border in Tabesta Letai, Salarzai area of Bajaur District, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today.
In a post on his X handle, the Minister said four innocent civilians embraced martyrdom while one five-year old child is seriously injured as house was hit in this attack.
He said the four martyrs Sajid, Ayaz, Riaz and Muaz are real brothers. The locals and civilian population have registered strong condemnation and anger against Afghan Taliban regime which is Master Terror Proxy.
He said this cowardly and heinous deliberate targeting of civilians by Afghan Taliban regime in cohorts with terrorists organization Fitna-al-Khawarij is not only a grievous violation of international law and basic human values but also reflective of their deep frustration and desperation while facing heavy setbacks on multiple fronts by the Armed Forces of Pakistan through targeted attacks on terrorists and support infrastructures as part of operation Ghazb Lil Haq.
The Minister said a befitting and aggressive response is being given to the Afghan Taliban regime positions and infrastructure responsible for this dastardly act.
