Meanwhile, in North Waziristan’s Mir Ali tehsil, terrorists detonated explosives late at night at the Government Primary School Ayaz Kot Khushkhaali, a facility previously constructed by the Pakistan Army. Security officials said the blast completely destroyed the building, though no casualties were reported.

Resident and officials strongly condemned the attack, stating that targeting teachers, and educational institutions reflects the cowardice, weakness and education-hostile mindset of the perpetrators.
