Peshawar, Apr 1:
At least nine militants were killed in an operation by Pakistan’s security forces after an attack on a government school in northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police said on Tuesday.
The militants stormed Government High School Khwaja Mir Kalay in the Aka Khel area of Bara Tehsil, Khyber district, on Monday, in an apparent attempt to seize control of the building.
During the attack, the militants removed the national flag and hoisted their own flag on the school building. Following the exchange of fire with security forces, nine militants were killed, and the forces regained control of the school, reinstating the national flag atop the building.
