One civilian was killed while five members of a same family sustained injuries when Afghan Taliban forces targeted a civilian residential area in the Angoor Adda area of South Waziristan District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on October 27, reports The Khyber Chronicles. The incident has prompted a strong response from Pakistani Security Forces (SFs), who reportedly launched an immediate retaliatory operation against Afghan positions after the alleged shelling struck a residential property.
