"The Pakistani invading forces bombed the house of a local civilian resident, Waliat Khan, son of Qazi Mir, Mujahid wrote in a post on X. As a result, nine children (five boys and four girls) and one woman were martyred, and his house was destroyed, he added. Other air strikes took place in northeastern Kunar and eastern Paktika provinces, Mujahid said, wounding at least four civilians."
