A blast in North Waziristan has resulted in the destruction of a school exclusively for girls.

An explosion occurred during the late hours of the night, resulting in the destruction of a middle school for females located in Zeraki village in North Waziristan.

The explosion, which took place during the early morning hours on Monday in the Mir Ali area, completely destroyed the school building.

As per the police allegations, an explosion orchestrated by unidentified individuals deliberately targeted the girls’ school using explosive devices, resulting in substantial destruction to the building’s structure. Fortunately, there have been no casualties recorded as the school was unoccupied during the incident.

Current endeavours are underway to evaluate the complete magnitude of the harm and strategize for the restoration of the school edifice.

A comprehensive investigation has been initiated by the police to ascertain the identity and capture the individuals accountable for the explosion. Enhanced security measures have been implemented in the vicinity to avert any more occurrences, and community leaders are collaborating with law enforcement to uphold tranquilly and stability.

Last night, militants detonated an explosive device at Govt Girls Middle School in Zeraki, N. Waziristan. Bilal from NDM provides insight on the scenario. The oppressive forces that have prohibited the education of girls in Afghanistan are spreading their influence into our regions. The state remains passive, tacitly involved in the devastation.
