The first blast reportedly occurred inside a Nato container near Karkhano market in Jamrud. The explosion left two people injured.
Bannu
The blast in Bannu took place opposite a cloth shop, located near a local girl’s school in the area of Zargara market. Around 14 people including four men and 11 primary school girls were injured.
The bomb went off at the end of the school day as pupils walked into a street lined with fabric shops in the north western town of Bannu, which has been a flashpoint for militancy.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but militants frequently attack girls' schools – usually when the buildings are empty in the evening or during the holidays.
The police have taken control of the area. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital in Bannu.

This attack joins the long list of crimes committed by the terrorists against the innocent people of the region. It is safe to say that no one is spared from these attacks. These terrorists do not even spare little children, elderly or women. How do you justify targeting little children? You just can’t! We strongly condemn this attack. We wish a quick and speedy recovery to those who are injured. We hope that their friends and families will find the strength to get through this difficult time. We wish to see the ones responsible caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law. We stand by the government of Pakistan and fully support their efforts to counterterrorism.

Instead of some fancy Mobile Court on wheels and billions spend on substandard iftari given to people in Ramadan, spend the precious resources on LEAs!
Does PTI still want to talk to these terrorists?
Sad. Innocent lives are lost.
Our girls need madarassa education not secular education. Boy need both to avoid our children from getting corrupt.
