One person was killed and eight injured Friday during protests in the town of Uch Sharif, 60 kilometres south of Dera Ghazi Khan, police said.
The violence erupted after 70 to 80 Shia took to the streets and threw stones at the shops of Sunni traders.
“Sunni traders also threw stones at Shia protesters and in the scuffle one person was killed and eight others wounded,” local police official Azhar Hameed told AFP, adding police had brought the situation under control.
