Pakistan Fires 72 Artillery Shells into Kunar Districts Amid Rising Border Tensions
The Information and Culture Department of Kunar province has announced that the Pakistani army has fired dozens of artillery shells into border areas of the province. According to the department, 35 shells landed in the areas of Doklam, Barikot, and Sunglay in the Nari district, while 37 other shells struck parts of the Manogi district.
Zia-ur-Rehman Spin Ghar, head of Kunar’s Information and Culture Department, stated that no casualties have been reported so far as a result of these attacks. However, local residents have expressed concern over the ongoing situation.
He further noted that shelling in Nari district continues, with Pakistani forces targeting individuals returning to their homes.
Kunar province, located in eastern Afghanistan, has long been a hotspot for border tensions with Pakistan. The continuation of such incidents has once again heightened concerns over the security of residents in the border areas. It is expected that the Taliban administration will take practical and accountable measures to protect civilians and prevent the recurrence of these attacks.
