Taliban Say Pakistani Fire Killed Civilian, Injured Woman in Kunar

Taliban officials say Pakistani forces opened fire in Kunar province, killing one civilian and injuring a woman.

Deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said the incident occurred around 9am on the fourth day of Eid in Nari district.

He added that Pakistani forces also fired at a vehicle in Shkin district of Paktika province, but no casualties were reported.

The Taliban had earlier accused Pakistani forces of killing a female doctor and her four-year-old child in Kunar.

Pakistani authorities have not responded to the claims.

The incidents come despite a ceasefire announced before Eid with mediation from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, with both sides accusing each other of violations.
