At least seven people were killed and two others injured in clashes that broke out Sunday between rival militant groups in Pakistan's North Waziristan region, a media report said.

According to officials, the clashes erupted between the Shehryar Mehsud-led Hakimullah group and Waliur Rahman group of Khan Said, alias Sajna, Dawn online reported.

The clashes took place in the mountainous Shawal Tehsil in North Waziristan.

Over the last two months, the infighting within Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) factions has left over 100 dead and many injured.
