| [TOLONEWS] Two Afghan women have been killed and two more injured in eastern Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country..... when their house was struck during a missile attack apparently launched from Pakistain, local officials said Saturday. The attack began around 03:00am this morning with at least seven missiles landing in Kunar's Marawar district including striking the civilian house, provincial's governor Sayed Fazlullah Wahidi told TOLOnews. "We confirm that the Pakistain military have launched several missiles into Marwar district, killing two women and injuring two others," he said. The security forces have started investigating the attacks, he added. In the past a month Pakistain has fired several missiles in Marawar and Dangam districts which share a border with Pakistain. The missiles have been damaged agricultural land, animals and resident houses. There have been similar attacks going on for at least two years. But the Pak government consistently denies claims that the attacks are perpetrated by Pakistain's military. |
