A tragic airstrike by the Pakistan Air Force in Khyber Valley has left 30 dead, including children, raising serious concerns over civilian safety and human rights violations.
The attack reportedly targeted a village settlement late last night, with bombs striking residential zones instead of militant hideouts.
Local sources confirm that among the dead were women and children, while several others sustained severe injuries. Witnesses reported chaos in the aftermath as villagers tried to dig survivors out from the debris with bare hands. Entire families were reportedly wiped out in the strike, further deepening the anger and grief of the affected community.
Human rights groups have condemned the incident, calling for an immediate investigation into why civilian areas were bombed. Analysts suggest that the attack underscores the rising tensions in Pakistan’s tribal belt, where military operations often overlap with civilian spaces.
International observers are demanding accountability, with experts warning that such actions may escalate instability in the already volatile region. The Pakistani government and military are yet to release an official statement clarifying the intent and aftermath of the strike.
This tragic event highlights the urgent need for stronger protections for civilians in conflict zones and renewed global focus on human rights violations in South Asia.
