NORTH WAZIRISTAN: At least 23 mortar shells fired from Afghanistan fell into North Waziristan on Thursday, DawnNews reported.

The mortar shells landed into Ghulam Khan and Bagi Dar areas of North Waziristan.

No casualties or loss of life was reported due to the targeted areas being uninhabited.

Earlier last week, six mortar shells fired from Afghanistan fell into North Waziristan’s Ghulam Khan Tehsil area. No casualties or loss of life was reported.

North Waziristan is of one of Pakistan's tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan. Pakistan and Afghanistan regularly trade allegations of cross-border shelling from both sides of the border.
