- At least 23 civilians died in an air attack in Pakistan.
- The incident took place in a border area known for the activity of militants.
- The opposition accuses the army of performing a counter -terrorist operation.
Opposition MPs accused the army of carrying out the night raid in a counter -terrorist operation, but the government or armed forces did not issue any official position.
In recent months, militants from the Taliban branch of the Taliban (Taliban Taliban Topistan – TPP) have intensified their violent campaign against security forces in the mountainous areas of the Khajbar Paštúch bordering with Afghanistan.
According to the opposition MP, the bouncing that killed 23 people is a responsible aircraft of the security forces.
Army accusation
Another opposition MP also accused the army of responsibility for the attack. “This security forces attack is nothing but an attack on unarmed civilians,” he said.
Both of these deputies are members of the opposition party Movement for Justice (PTI) trapped by former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
A police officer from Tirah said there are seven women and four children among the dead. According to him, the fighters hit four houses, which were completely destroyed after the blow.
Protest against attack
About 2,000 people gathered in the city in the province on Monday in the afternoon of local time, protesting against the attack.
