At least 10 people, including children, were killed and 70 others injured in an explosion in a madrasah in the city of Peshawar in Pakistan.
The blast took place at a religious seminary in Pakistan’s northern city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, including children, and injuring 70 others, local sources said.
According to Pakistani police, the bomb went off minutes after an unknown person left a bag at the madrasa.
