DHAKA: At least 10 people were killed and another nine wounded on Monday in an explosion at the home of a tribal leader in a restive area of north-west Pakistan.

Pakistan officials said, reports The Straits Times.

The blast came in a remote village close to the Afghan border in Tirah Valley, which last year saw fierce fighting between the Pakistani military and Taliban militants.
