A woman and her three daughters were killed in a landslide in northwest Pakistan's tribal Khyber Agency on Monday.
The women were digging out mud for the construction of a house in Mukhtar Khel area of Landikotal tehsil in Khyber Agency when they were trapped in a landslide.
They were trapped under the debris and eventually died, the official said, adding that the deceased included a woman and her three daughters.
The residents of the area pulled out the corpses and shifted them to a hospital in LandiKotal, the official added.
Landikotal is a tehsil in Khyber Agency in the tribal belt that has now been merged with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The agency is situated close to Peshawar, the main metropolis of the province.
