Local residents said that civilians, especially children, are being repeatedly targeted in cross-border shelling incidents, creating an ongoing atmosphere of fear and insecurity in the area.
Security sources further stated that the continued targeting of civilian populations by Afghan Taliban reflects, in their view, a lack of regard for humanity and civilian safety.
