At least one person was killed and two others injured in a remote-controlled blast in Swat Valley on Monday.

Police said the blast targeted a family member of a Village Defence Committee (VDC) member, Ahmed Zeb, in the Ghat area of Malam Jabba.

Zeb's father was killed and two others wounded, police officials said.

The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital, and the area was cordoned off by police and security forces who began a search operation in the area.
