NORTH WAZIRISTAN:
Ten militants were killed and 15 others injured in clashes between Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) factions in the Shawal area of North Waziristan, Express News reported on Thursday.
The TTP infighting took place between the Shehryar Mehsud-led Hakimullah group and Waliur Rahman faction led by Khan Said alias Sajna.
More than 60 militants have been killed and scores more wounded in the infighting which began in the first week of April in South Waziristan Agency, which later spread to Tank district and North Waziristan Agency.

The area where the fighting is ongoing between the two groups is located 60 kilometres away from TTP’s Miramshah headquarters.
According to independent sources, three members from Shehryar Mehsud group and two from Sajna’s faction were killed in fresh clashes. At least 14 TTP members were killed on May 6 as well.
