At least 38 people were killed and 29 wounded when gunmen opened fire on passenger vehicles in Pakistan’s Kurram tribal district. Among the victims were a woman and a child, with the death toll expected to rise. The attack highlighted ongoing tensions between armed Shia and Sunni Muslims in the region over a land dispute that has lasted for decades. The incident involved two convoys of passenger vehicles traveling between Peshawar and Parachinar when the gunmen opened fire. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the violence.
