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.[1]
