Local sources in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said at least four people were killed and several others wounded in clashes between fighters of Islamic State Khorasan Province and members of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in the Orakzai District.
The fighting took place in the Sheikhan area of the district, where the two rival groups exchanged heavy gunfire, according to the sources.
Security officials said the clash was triggered by a dispute over extortion payments.
Reports said three ISKP members were killed, including a commander identified as Abid, also known as Hamza. One TTP member was also killed, and three others were seriously wounded.
