KURRAM: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district witnessed violence once more as a clash between two tribes led to the death of at least 11 people, officials told Geo News on Saturday.
Kurram Deputy Commissioner (DC) Javidullah Mehsud said that the unfortunate incident took place at the Kunj Alizai mountains, situated near the Pak-Afghan border.
“The six people who sustained injuries have been transported to a hospital,” the deputy commissioner said. The official added that steps are being taken to make the roads safe and bring the situation back to normal in the district.
Local police said that its personnel and security forces have reached the area and have started an investigation into the clash.
The clashes stopped last month and the authorities also re-opened the Pak-Afghan border crossing at Kharlachi.
Last month’s clash saw 60 people’s deaths and dozens of injuries, KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi had said.
The dispute involves two rival tribes who have been fighting over a piece of land. In August, the two sides had reached a two-month ceasefire after the armed clashes resulted in 50 casualties and wounded 226 others.
