At least seven people have been killed and many wounded in a blast at used clothes market in Pakistan's Kurram Agency's Parachinar area.

According to the Dawn, It is currently unclear whether the blast was a suicide attack or a remote-controlled blast.

Rescue and emergency teams have rushed to the blast site and shifted the dead and wounded to District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ) Parachinar.

Security forces have cordoned off the area and are investigating the nature of the blast.

Kurram is one of the most sensitive tribal areas as it borders three Afghan provinces.
