In a tragic incident in Khyber District’s remote Tirah Valley, a mortar shell explosion claimed the life of a student from Government Primary School Hashim Khan Kaly, Bar Qamberkhel, and left five others severely injured.
According to sources, the children were returning home after school in the Bar Qamberkhel area of Tirah Maidan when an unidentified mortar shell landed near them at Bhutan Sharif and exploded. Six students sustained serious injuries in the blast.
Residents immediately rushed to assist and transported the injured to the hospital, but one child, identified as Abidullah, succumbed to his injuries on the way.
