An attack on an alleged Haqqani Network housing compound owned by Ahmad Afghani killed up to twelve people and injured five. A local intelligence official told The Nation:

The building acted as an office where Taliban militants would come to receive orders and rest between bouts of fighting across the border in Afghanistan.’

But residents told Dawn that civilians were killed in the attack. It noted that according to local officials, ‘supporters of Abdul Manan, a key commander of Taliban leader Jalaluddin Haqqani, were in the house. Manan was killed in Afghanistan last year. However, residents rejected the official claim and said that local people who were sleeping outside the house were killed in the attack. The injured people were taken to a hospital in Miramshah and later shifted to an unspecified place.’
