Unprovoked aggression by Fitna al-Khawarij and continued attacks on the civilian population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have once again been reported, with a quadcopter strike injuring three people in Bajaur.
According to details, the Khawarij carried out a quadcopter attack on a cricket ground in the Mamond area, specifically in Shahi Tangi tehsil, leaving three people injured. The wounded were immediately shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Local sources stated that the attack was launched when a cricket match was underway in the ground. They added that Fitna al-Khawarij are using quadcopters to target the general public in an effort to spread fear and terror, with multiple video evidences reportedly present.
Meanwhile, a recent press release issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Bajaur highlighted continued cross-border hostilities. It stated that during March and April 2026, mortar shells were fired from Afghanistan into various border areas of Bajaur, particularly in Mamond and Salarzai.
The Deputy Commissioner said that nine civilians were martyred in firing by the Afghan Taliban on Bajaur’s population, including three women and six children.
Experts believe that Fitna-ul-Khawarij are targeting unarmed civilians due to their inability to confront security forces directly. They noted that repeated attacks on urban populations have intensified public resentment against the group.
According to analysts, security forces are responding effectively and vigorously to attacks by Fitna al-Khawarij and the Afghan Taliban regime, adding that operations are focused on targeting militant positions and their supporting infrastructure.
