LANDI KOTAL: Militants blew up two government-run primary schools in the Khyber tribal region's Landi Kotal area on Thursday, DawnNews reported.

Moreover, an explosion destroyed the Yousuf Talab bridge in the tribal region’s Bara area.

Security sources said militants had planted explosives underneath the bridge which went off and subsequently disrupted the route between Yousuf Talab and Peshawar.

Security forces then cordoned off the area and started a search operation.
