Summary

Pakistani officials, including the Deputy Commissioner of South Waziristan Lower, claim that Afghan Taliban forces fired mortars at civilian areas in Angoor Adda on Tuesday night, killing one civilian and injuring five others from a single family. A mortar landed on a residential home, according to officials. Pakistan's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has dismissed these claims as "fabrication of lies," denying that the incident occurred. Pakistani forces reportedly responded to the alleged attack by targeting Afghan Taliban positions. The Afghan Taliban have not commented on the allegations.
