This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Comment: Besides adding references properly (see this handy guide), you'll want to add more sources too. For instance, a quick Google search uncovered this NYTimes article; and a more elaborate search may yield a lot else. Java Hurricane 09:23, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

In 1984, Afghan and Soviet Air Forces attacked Pakistani frontier towns, killing over 100 people. Afghan forces used both air and ground attacks, while Soviet MIGs bombed a Waziristan village, causing the deaths of 40 civilians. This assault highlighted the conflict's devastating impact on border communities.
