Four people including a woman were killed, while three others sustained injuries on Sunday after gunmen opened fire in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Kurram district.
Kurram District Police Officer (DPO) Muhammad Imran said the incident happened near Sada Bazaar. Assailants opened indiscriminate fire at a passenger coach and a car, killing two security personnel, a driver and a woman.

He added that both the vehicles were travelling from Parachinar to Peshawar.
The DPO claimed that efforts were underway to arrest the culprits behind the attack and that security in the area had been increased.
In a similar incident last week on December 31, a man was injured in yet another terrorist attack on a passenger coach in the Hangu district of K-P. However, the terrorists were forced to flee when a passenger opened fire on them with his handgun.
Police told The Express Tribune that terrorists had ambushed a Parachinar-bound coach and fired at its tyres, forcing it to stop.
