Clashes between warring tribes entered eighth day on Thursday, with the overall death toll reaching 107, despite claims of reaching a ceasefire deal a day ago in District Kurram.
Police said five more people were killed and nine others sustained injuries in the fresh engagement.
The development comes a day after the feuding tribes agreed to a new 10-day ceasefire.
“A 10-day ceasefire between the warring parties in Kurram has come into effect as of today,” read the statement issued by the office of the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Kurram.
At least 107 people have lost their lives in the feud between communities in the district, including 52 in the firing on a convoy on November 21.
Police have said that the recent clashes have claimed 55 lives leaving 140 others wounded.
The district administration has said the Parachinar-Peshawar road had been closed for eight days due to violence.
Meanwhile, Kurram Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mehsud has said that due to the closure of the main highway, trade with Afghanistan at the Kharlachi border was also suspended.
Furthermore, suspension of internet and mobile phone services are also adding to the woes of the people.
However, Mehsud said that steps were being taken to stop clashes and enforce the ceasefire.
“A jirga of elders from Hangu, Orakzai and Kohat is reaching Parachinar for talks. The parties have agreed to the ceasefire, while efforts are underway to fully implement the truce,” said the DC.
The latest violence began last Thursday when two separate convoys travelling under police escort were ambushed.
