Officials said that heavy clashes started five days ago in Boshera village in Upper Kurram district, which has witnessed deadly conflicts among tribes and religious groups as well as sectarian clashes and militant attacks in the past.
Police said the tribal clashes left 30 people dead and 145 others injured in the last five days in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district, bordering Afghanistan.
Officials with the help of tribal elders, military leadership, police and district administration have brokered a truce between Shia and Sunni tribes in Boshera, Malikhel and Dandar areas a short while ago, police said.
However, firing is still continuing in some other parts of the district.
An official said efforts were being made to reach a ceasefire in the remaining areas too.
