MIRANSHAH: A suspected drone attack has destroyed nearly 80 per cent of Government High School Shamazan Kot in the Miami Kabul Khel Dorazinda area of Shewa tehsil in North Waziristan, just days before schools were scheduled to reopen on March 1.

The blast occurred late at night when the school was closed and unoccupied, sparing students and staff from any casualties or injuries, local sources and officials confirmed.

The powerful explosion was heard across the region, spreading fear and panic among residents. District administration officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigations are underway to determine the nature of the attack and to confirm whether it was indeed a drone strike or another type of explosion.

Evidence is being collected from the site, while police and security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.
