At least 35 people died after gunfire broke out between two tribes in Pakistan's Kurram region, bordering Afghanistan.

The conflict has been going on for the past 35 days.

Mir Hassan Jan, the medical superintendent of the Kurram District Head­quarters Hospital, told Dawn News News that 166 people were hurt in the clashes.

A land dispute triggered hostilities between two rival groups from Boshehra and Maleekhel regions.

Both the sides resorted to heavy weapons to attack each other.

Clashes were also reported from Peewar, Tangi, Balishkhel, Khaar Kalay, Maqbal, Kunj Alizai, Para Chamkani, and Karman.

A day earlier, locals told Dawn News that missiles and rockets were also fired on Parachinar and Sadda towns.

Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mahsud told the newspaper that jirga members held talks with the elders of both groups and persuaded them to vacate their positions after which the two sides agreed to a ceasefire.
