Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Brutal Sectarian Violence: 37 Dead in Less Than 24 Hours of Violence

In a surge of sectarian violence in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, at least 37 people have been killed and dozens more wounded in less than 24 hours. The clashes, primarily between Sunni and Shia communities, have intensified in recent months, particularly in the mountainous Kurram district, a region known for its long-standing sectarian tensions. The violence escalated after gunmen targeted Shia convoys, killing 43 on Thursday, prompting retaliatory attacks by Shia groups, who set fire to Sunni-dominated areas. Despite efforts to mediate peace, the region remains unstable, with security forces attempting to restore calm amid growing tensions. #PakistanViolence #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #SectarianClashes #ShiaSunniConflict #KurramViolence #SectarianTensions #PakistanNews #BreakingNews #PeaceRestoration #PakistanCrisis #KhyberPakhtunkhwaViolence #ShiaSunniViolence #SectarianWar #PakistanSecurity #PakistaniConflict ~HT.97~GR.124~PR.152~ED.194~
