A drone strike in the Shamozai area of Katlang, just 30 kilometers from the Punjab Regiment Center in Mardan, killed at least 10 civilians, including women and shepherds, triggering outrage among locals, sources said Saturday.
Following the strike, protesters placed bodies on the Swat Motorway, blocking traffic and condemning the attack. Reports suggest that a military operation took place overnight, with drones playing a key role in the assault.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement on the incident, and it remains unclear who was behind the strike. The targeted area lies near a major military installation, raising concerns about security and operational oversight.
