Pashtuns will be Pashtuns...
[KhaamaPress] At least twelve civilians, all members of a single family, were killed or maimed in a mortar attack in southern Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
province of Afghanistan.

Provincial governor’s front man Omar Zwak confirmed the incident and said six non-combatants were killed in the attack.

Zwak further added that the incident took place at around 9pm local time in the restive Greshk district.

According to Zwak, a mortar round landed on a residential house in the vicinity of Yakhchal area, leaving at least six dead and six others maimed.

He also added that the women and kiddies are among those killed or maimed and all victims belong to the same family.

No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the attack.

Helmand is among the relatively volatile provinces in South of Afghanistan where the anti-government armed hard boys, particularly the Talibs are actively operating in some of its districts and often carry out attacks against the government and security forces.
