The incident occurred in the Kurram district of the province.
Kohat Regional Police Officer Abbas Majeed Marwat said in a statement, “Six passengers have been killed in a tragic incident of firing on a passenger vehicle in Lower Kurram, reported Dawn News.
“A search operation has been launched after the terrorist incident,” he said.
He said 12 were later detained during the operation and even large number of weapons were recovered from them.
