An official associated with the security forces in the area said the mortars were fired from Paktia province of Afghanistan which landed in Pakistan.
Pointing out that this was a violation of terrestrial boundaries of Pakistan, he said there was no loss of life. Most of the residents have moved out of the area owing to the ongoing operation.
A Frontier Corps soldier was killed on August 1 when militants launched a cross-border attack on a Pakistan army check post in Bajaur Agency.
Pakistan has repeatedly complained to Afghan authorities over incidents of cross border firing.

It is not clear who fire the rocket. Could be Afghan security force or some terrorists. In either case this is becoming regular and some serious steps required to offset any threat to life in NWA
The Afghans need to stop this or they need to face some serious retaliatory action.
