Local sources say eight children were injured in a suspected quadcopter strike in Nawna, Mir Ali tehsil, North Waziristan. The same sources allege that security forces carried out the strike, but that allegation has not been independently verified.
At the time of publication, Margalla News found no official statement or confirmation from a major independent news organization regarding this specific incident, the reported casualty count, the origin of the quadcopter, or responsibility for the strike. The reported injuries and allegation against security forces are therefore being presented strictly as local-source claims.
Mir Ali and other parts of North Waziristan have seen previous quadcopter-related incidents in which responsibility was disputed. In reporting on a May 2025 incident in Hurmuz, Dawn noted that both security forces and the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were known to use quadcopters in the area. No party has been independently established as responsible for the current Nawna incident.
