A convoy of 75 trucks carrying essential supplies was stopped after a shootout in Bagan Bazaar, Kurram district.
The convoy, which included food, medicine and gas cylinders, was returning to Tall shortly after leaving under security cover.
The convoy had left under the supervision of Advocate Information Adviser Advocate Dr Saif, who announced its composition of 22-, 10- and six-wheeler trucks carrying essential goods.
The district administration confirmed that convoy movement has resumed following the implementation of a peace agreement, which also reopened the Parachinar-Tall highway after months of closure while security measures continued in compliance with the Kohat Agreement.
Earlier, Dr Saif and officials including Kohat Commissioner and DIG coordinated efforts to ensure safe passage.
However, tensions rose when unidentified assailants fired at government vehicles in Bagan, injuring Deputy Commissioner Javedullah Mehsud and three security personnel. Research is underway to address the violence.
