Clashes between security forces and militants were reported in the Zeraki area of Mir Ali, North Waziristan, on September 13, with local sources reporting heavy weapons and mortar fire since around 11:00 a.m.
Residents said a shell struck a house, reportedly injuring women and children, while continued fighting initially prevented people from reaching the affected property. Local reports later indicated that up to six people may have been killed or injured, although the casualty figure remains unclear. Civilian homes and livestock were also reportedly affected.
Ittehad-ul-Mujahideen Pakistan (IMP) subsequently claimed responsibility, saying its fighters ambushed a security convoy on the main Miranshah Road in the Zeraki area and caused casualties among security personnel.
The IMP claim and reported civilian casualty figures have not been independently confirmed. Independent verification is pending.
