Kahan: A representative of
the Marri tribe reported that Pakistani forces are
conducting military operations for a fourth day,
scores of civilians have been being killed, the injured
don't have access to any kind of medical attention
while the dead are increasing by the hour. Marri

backed-up in this assault by bomber aircrafts, helicopter
gunships and artillery fire. Bombore, Seiya Giri,
Suraf, Nul, Shin Kani, Wasalu, Guhla-o-Daman, Pir-o-Darbar
and adjoining areas have been bombed intensively
by Pakistani aircraft and gunships. The forts generally
used by paramilitary troops as base camps are now
used by the Pakistani military as artillery stations
to shell the civilian population. At Seiya Giri two
women and a child lost their lives in artillery fire.
Eight civilians were critically wounded as a result
of an aerial raid. Meanwhile platoons of Pakistani
Airborne Troops have been flown into Bombore Top,
Seiya Giri, and Wasalu via Helicopter. Airborne troops
are killing civilians. Pakistani forces are destroying
houses and looting valuables. Eight herds of cattle
