| [Tolo News] At least one civilian was killed and another was maimed in five rockets attacks on Wednesday in eastern Kunar city, local officials said. The incident happened in Yaar Gull area in Asadabad city of Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Binny's house in Chitral... today when faceless myrmidons fired five rockets, Khalilullah Ziayee, police chief of Kunar told TOLOnews news hound. The incident happened near foreign forces' base in the area but there was no reports of any foreign and Afghan forces casualties in the attack, he added. Meanwhile, ...back at the Esquimeau village... Zabihullah Mujahid, a front man for Taliban grabbed credit for the attacks and said some foreign soldiers were killed. But foreign forces have denied the claims and said they have had no causalities in the attacks. Insurgents have become active in most villages in the province and often use Improvised Explosive Devices to target Afghan and foreign forces. Kunar is bordered by Pakistain and Afghan officials have previously said that beturbanned goons sometimes infiltrate from the other side of the border and target Afghan border police check posts in the province. |
