Bombed Out of School: 600 Students Impacted as Primary School Destroyed in N. Waziristan

Dec 12, 2025 | Latest News, Terrorism









In a devastating attack against education, a government primary school in the Mir Ali area of North Waziristan was destroyed in an overnight explosion, instantly disrupting the schooling of over 600 enrolled children. Unidentified armed assailants reportedly used a remote-controlled or timed device to blow up a major portion of the Government Primary School in Ayaz Kot, Khushhali village.

This attack has been described by local elders as an assault on the community’s “only beacon of hope” for education, underscoring the severe consequences in a region where such institutions are scarce.

The district administration has condemned the incident as an “anti-education act” and launched a search operation, though no group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing. Attacks on schools, particularly in Pakistan’s northwestern tribal districts, are a recurring strategy used by militant groups, including factions of the TTP, to enforce anti-education ideologies, especially against girls’ schooling, and to target symbols of government authority.

Authorities are now urgently trying to seal off the damaged sections and arrange alternative facilities to prevent a total lapse in education for the hundreds of affected students, as the destruction compounds existing literacy and enrollment challenges in the volatile border region.
