According to reports, the gate and the boundary wall of the school collapsed and the windowpanes and doors of the nearby houses and buildings were smashed.

“I was sitting in my house after the Friday prayers when the powerful explosion jolted the township,” a resident of Rojhan Jamali told this correspondent.

Officials of the district administration, police and other law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area and started investigation. The village has been handed over to the law enforcement agencies, who were not allowing anybody to enter it.

Contingents of the law enforcement agencies have been sent to strengthen security measures in the village.
