It was said that the bandits invaded Shanawa community during the last prayer session for the day, Isha Solaat, Wednesday, leaving many worshippers injured and kidnapping many others.
Sources said that the attack occured in the night amid the prayer session, when the bandits understand that the worshippers would be unable to run for their dear lives during their arrival into the community.

The bandits abducted several residents, causing widespread panic in the community.
While the total number of those kidnapped remain unknown, eyewitnesses described the raid as well-organized and deadly.
