Six civilians were injured in a suspected drone attack in the Hassan Khel area at midnight on July 1, according to local authorities.
The incident took place in the village of Pastawana, where officials said an explosive device dropped by a drone struck a civilian area, leaving six local residents seriously injured.
The wounded were given first aid before being transferred to Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital for further treatment.
