PAK News: The Pakistan Army carried out an airstrike on a village in the Tirah Valley of its own Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing over 30 innocent civilians. The majority of those killed in this attack were women and children. According to local sources, the Pakistani Air Force dropped at least eight LS-6 bombs from JF-17 fighter jets around 2 AM.
Horror of the Bombing
A large part of the village was completely destroyed in the attack. Houses collapsed, and debris was scattered everywhere. Local residents and eyewitnesses reported that people were sleeping when sudden loud explosions were heard. The bombing was so intense that the village streets and roads were filled with the rubble of demolished homes.
Casualties and Injuries
According to the information received, over 30 civilians were killed and more than 20 people were seriously injured in this attack. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals. Meanwhile, many people are feared to be buried under the rubble. Local residents are engaged in rescue and relief efforts on their own, but severe difficulties are being encountered in search and rescue operations due to the debris and collapsed structures.
Local Residents' Reaction
The people living in the village are in shock from this attack. Many reported seeing themselves fleeing to save their children and family members. Local residents state that this attack was not only carried out in the name of counter-terrorism operations but is also one of the most brutal actions taken by Pakistan's own army against its citizens.
Impact of the Incident on Social Media
Videos of this attack have gone viral on social media. The videos clearly show people trapped in the rubble, the screams of the injured, and the scene of a completely devastated village. These videos also reflect the concern of human rights organizations and the international community. Several organizations have demanded an impartial investigation into this incident from Pakistan and action against those responsible.
Search for Missing Persons Continues
After the bombing, many people are likely buried under the rubble, and local residents are engaged in rescue efforts on their own. However, due to the widespread destruction, significant challenges are emerging in search and relief operations. The injured are being transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. So far, no official statement has been issued by the government regarding this brutal airstrike on its own citizens in Pakistan. This incident presents another example of the barbarity occurring in the region under the guise of the Pakistani Army's alleged 'anti-terrorism' operations.
