Death toll in clashes in northwestern Kurrum tribal agency has risen to more than 100, News Network International (NNI) news agency reported.

Reports said both tribes used automated weapons, artillery, mortar missiles and rockets against each other in the week-long fighting.

Kurrum tribal agency had suffered sectarian violence for the past two years.
