Afghanistan: Over 9000 families forcibly displaced near Durand Line due to Pak rocket attacks

Over 9,000 families have been forced to leave their homes due to the rocket attacks conducted by Pakistani forces on areas near the Durand Line in Afghanistan’s Kunar province. Officials from Kunar’s Directorate of Information and Culture said that the survey process of impacted families is being conducted. Kunar’s Information and Culture Department head Najeebullah Hanif said that clashes continue and several families have been forced to abandon their areas due to security concerns. Locals have been raising concerns as tensions escalated tremendously between Islamabad and Kabul over the past few months due to the Pakistani airstrikes, which have resulted in several deaths in Afghanistan. Residents of the Tani district of Afghanistan’s Khost accused Pakistani soldiers of targetting civilian houses as fighting continued on the country’s border with Pakistan.
