KHAR: The funeral prayer of a child, who was martyred in a rocket attack from Afghanistan a day earlier, was held here on Tuesday.

Seven others including Hizbullah, Habib, Tasbeeha, Dadullah and Afsa sustained injuries in the attack.

The Pak Army officials shifted two of the injured to the Combined Military Hospital in Peshawar.

Meanwhile, the elders of the area have expressed concern over the incident and urged the authorities to give a tit-for-tat response to the attackers from across the border.
