There have been numerous instances of explosives injuring children in areas that have been cleared of militants.
In May, around 10 people were injured in five low-intensity bomb blasts in different areas of Shabqadar in Charsadda tehsil. Most of the people injured in the blasts were women and children.
One of them took place outside a school in the Zarif Kor area, injuring a watchman and damaging the school’s gate, which prompted the authorities to shut it down.
