The officials said the rest of the four rockets landed in barren land and no life loss was reported. Soon after the incident the Wana Bazar was closed and people rushed to their homes while emergency was declared in the hospitals. No one claimed the responsibility of the incident. It is to be mentioned here that due to the worsening law and order situation in the tribal areas, the election campaign is still limited to person to person contact as no candidate has held any big gathering. The local experts of the area are of the opinion that due to the recent rocket attacks, the election campaign in the tribal areas is likely to be affected immensely.
