Ten civilians killed by mortar shells
At least 10 people, including three women, were killed and 12 injured when mortars fired by security forces hit a house in the Nawagai tehsil of Bajaur Agency late on Tuesday. The security forces had fired the mortars after a militants remote-controlled bomb went off, injuring a security official. They fired mortars at militant positions in retaliation for the improvised explosive device blast, but one of them hit a house in the Nawagai area of Bajaur, deputy local administration chief Jamil Khan told AFP.
