According to police, the convoy travelling to Peshawar from Parachinar was targeted that left 25 martyred and multiple injured including women.
For the last few months, the district is marred with clashes between various tribes and parties, which have claimed dozens of lives.
The violence causes frequent closure of main and link roads as well as border with Afghanistan that caused troubles for the local residents.
According to local elders, the frequent closure of roads would lead to humanitarian crises due to shortage of medicines, edibles, petrol and diesel reserves in Kurram.

Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi have expressed their grief over the incident.
