PARACHINAR: Clashes between two tribal groups entered their third day in Lower Kurram Agency as five more people were killed and 13 injured in fresh fighting in parts of the agency, official sources said Monday.

The tribal groups of Khwar Kalay and Balishkhel villages in Sadda tehsil opened fire on each other with automatic weapons that resulted in the death of five people. The clashes between the two groups erupted on Saturday over a land and water dispute. Residents of these villages have started migrating to safer places.

On Sunday, nine persons were killed and several others injured, as the death toll of three days of fighting has mounted to 15. The situation in Balishkhel, Khwar Kalay, Shalozan, Bughdai and Luqmankhel is still tense, and the tribal people have demanded the government to take cogent measures to restore peace.
