A government girls’ primary school in Lower South Waziristan, Pakistan, was destroyed by an explosion late Tuesday night. Police are investigating the incident, but no group has claimed responsibility. This attack is part of a concerning trend of increasing violence targeting educational institutions in the region, with similar incidents occurring in February and March in the same district, and in North Waziristan and Lakki Marwat in recent months. Local officials report the school building sustained significant damage. Community leaders express concern that these attacks demonstrate opposition to education and jeopardize the future of girls, who already face barriers to accessing schooling in remote areas. The police have registered a report and are continuing their investigation into the bombing.
