International Human Rights Foundation Condemns Pakistani Attacks on Afghan Eastern Provinces
The International Human Rights Foundation has condemned attacks by Pakistani forces on civilian areas in Afghanistan's eastern provinces of Paktika, Khost, and Kunar.
The foundation stated that shells from heavy weapons struck civilian homes and public facilities in these provinces, killing or injuring 17 civilians. The strikes destroyed homes and infrastructure, causing significant financial losses to residential properties and agricultural lands.
Many families were forced to abandon their homes due to the attacks, which have spread widespread fear among the local population, according to the foundation.
Describing the incidents as clear war crimes, the International Human Rights Foundation demanded that Pakistan immediately stop the attacks on civilian areas and respect international law.
