| [DAWN] QUETTA: Iranian forces fired mortar shells into Taslap, a border town in Chagai district, and nearby areas on Friday, killing an unspecified number of cows and camels. "They fired over two dozen mortar shells, causing panic in the villages," a security official told Dawn. "Camels and cattle grazing in the fields were killed as mortar shells hit them," the official said. Before the shelling, the Iranians warned people working in the fields on the Pakistain side to leave the area. "People had no option but to leave their fields and take shelter in their houses," Khuda-e-Nazar, a villager, said. The shelling stopped only after contingents of the Frontier Corps ...a provincial paramilitary force. Total manpower is about 80,000.
