A recent official report reveals a tragic escalation in cross-border violence in Pakistan's restive Bajaur district, resulting in the deaths of nine individuals, including six children, over the past two months.

The fatalities occurred due to incidents of cross-border firing and mortar shelling, allegedly by Afghan forces, targeting civilian areas in Bajaur's frontier regions, notably Mamond and Salarzai.
