Local sources reported that the drone strike left the 10 and 12-year-old boys critically injured. Despite being rushed to the District Headquarters Hospital in Khar, they were declared dead upon arrival. Authorities are investigating the attack to determine its origins and motives.
The drone attack, which remains shrouded in mystery regarding its launch point and responsible party, has sparked condemnation from local leaders.
