The violence overnight on Saturday was the latest to rock Kurram, a district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, just days after a deadly attack on a convoy in the same area killed dozens of people.
A senior Pakistani police officer also confirmed Saturday's fighting, putting the death toll at 33 and the injuries at 25. Armed men in Bagan and Bacha Kot torched shops, houses, and government property.
Officials are describing this as a very tense situation, with a curfew imposed and mobile services suspended in the area, reflecting the escalating tensions.
The people on the other hand are complaining that the government and the authorities have failed to provide security to the citizens, as protests spread over the situation.
