Overview: The article argues that images circulated by TTA media purportedly show damaged buildings in Afghanistan, but the photos are unverified, display inconsistent damage (for example, intact roofs with only certain walls damaged), and lack confirmed location, date, or cause. The piece contends these posts serve as deflection from Taliban and TTP cross-border attacks launched from Afghanistan into Pakistan's Bajaur and Mohmand districts, which have caused civilian casualties, injuries, and destruction of homes and mosques. Pakistan allegedly responded by destroying Afghan border posts used for shelling. The author claims the imagery functions as propaganda intended to obscure crimes in Bajaur and Mohmand and calls for independent verification of the claims.
