On Monday, a grenade was thrown at a compound of the US-based Save the Children aid group in Battagram, wounding two Pakistani employees.
Aid agencies in the area are working in the many large refugee camps housing people from neighbouring Afghanistan, and helping communities recovering from an earthquake in 2005.
