The tense situation has caused the main road to be closed, creating significant difficulties for the residents. Parachinar City and Sadda Bazaar have also been targeted with missiles and rockets. Efforts to establish a ceasefire have been made, with a peace jirga from Hangu and Orakzai engaging in negotiations with the elders of both parties, but these attempts have failed.
