DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani intelligence officials say mortars allegedly fired from Afghanistan have killed eight people in northwestern Pakistan.
Two intelligence officials say the mortars hit a house Thursday in Tity Mada Khel village in the North Waziristan tribal area. They say the dead included five men and three women. Two other intelligence officials say 11 people were wounded in the attack.
It’s not immediately clear who fired the mortars. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to talk to the media. North Waziristan is dominated by militants who often launch attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan.
