late on Saturday evening, officials and local people said.

They said that several bullets fired by Death Eaters from across the border landed in the mountainous area of Charmang, about 40 kilometres north west of Khar, the headquarters of the tribal agency.

The injured was identified as Amer Jan who was later taken to the agency headquarters hospital in Khar for treatment where his condition was stated to be stable.

After the incident, volunteers of a village defence committee came out from their houses and started a search operation in their area. Officials of the local administration did not say anything about the nature of firing, but confirmed that at least three bullets landed in the house of a local resident.

"We don't know about the nature of firing, but it is clear that the bullets were fired by Death Eaters from across the border in Kunar province," they added. The officials said that the administration had launched investigations into the incident to find out the motive behind the firing.

the tribal elders of Charmang have strongly condemned the incident and threatened to launch a proper reaction if such attacks continued. They urged the government to take a serious note of such cross-border attacks.
