Four Children Injured In ‘Toy Bomb’ Blast At School In Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The incident took place on Friday in Jamrud tehsil, Khyber district, which lies along the border with Afghanistan.

Toy bomb blast
According to the school administration, a fourth-grade pupil found what he believed to be a toy on his way to school. The object, however, was an unexploded mortar shell, commonly referred to as a “toy bomb” in the region. He carried it into his classroom, where it detonated, injuring four students.
Authorities say such devices are remnants of decades of conflict and militant activity along the Afghan border, and are often mistaken by children for harmless toys. Police teams have launched an investigation and cordoned off the area to ensure the safety of other pupils.
Recent blomb blasts in Pakistan
The Jamrud incident comes amid a series of recent bombings across Pakistan. On 30 September, a powerful car bomb outside the headquarters of the paramilitary Frontier Corps in Quetta, Balochistan, killed at least 10 people and wounded more than 30. The blast was followed by heavy gunfire, plunging the city into panic.
Earlier, on 4 September, a suicide bomber targeted a rally of the Balochistan National Party (BNP) in Quetta. Fifteen people were killed and more than 30 wounded in the explosion, which occurred near the stadium’s parking area. The Islamic State militant group later claimed responsibility for the attack.
