Dara Adam Khel — A grenade exploded inside the premises of local journalist Nisar Afridi’s home in the Bazi Khel village of Darra Adam Khel on April 17, sparking concern amid a long-standing local dispute. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
According to sources, the grenade attack occurred around 3:30 PM during an ongoing clash between two rival factions — Malik Akbar and Malik Latif — over the ownership of a coal mine. The explosive damaged the solar panel system installed on the roof of Afridi’s home, but all family members remained unharmed.
Afridi, a correspondent for Roznama Khabrain, told TNN that this isn’t the first time his home has been affected by violence. A few months ago, stray bullets from another armed encounter also damaged the same solar installation.
