[ToloNews] A mass funeral was held in Samkani district of Paktia province for the victims martyred in last night's Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s by Pakistain's military regime, and the deaders were laid to rest.

Local residents say all of those martyred in the attacks were civilians, including women and kiddies.

Saifullah Rashtin, a resident of Samkani district, said: "Around 15 deaders were laid to rest here. People are deeply saddened. The incident took place in the Mande Khail area of Samkani district in Paktia province."

Abdul Rahman, another resident of the area, said: "Five of the deaders were from the lower village, while others were from the upper village and our own village. Some of the deaders were members of our families. In total, around 17 or 18 deaders were laid to rest today."

Residents say Pakistain's military regime deliberately targeted civilians and have called on human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
organizations not to remain silent over what they described as a crime, urging them to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Raees Khan, a resident of Samkani district, said: "Every time we hear that an investigation will be carried out, but we never see any results. No meaningful investigation has taken place, and no one has held Pakistain accountable. Similar attacks have occurred in Kabul, Kunar, Jalalabad, and Paktia, yet we have seen no effective response."

Last night, Pakistain's military regime carried out an airstrike on a residential house in Samkani district of Paktia province, martyring 28 people, including women and kiddies, and injuring another 158. In a separate airstrike on Gayan district of Paktika
...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency...
province, six members of the same family, including three children, two women, and one man, were also martyred.
