North Waziristan’s Government High School in Shamazan Kot, Miami Kabul Khel Dorazinda, Shewa tehsil, was severely damaged in a suspected drone strike. The attack occurred at night while the school was closed, leaving no students or staff harmed.
Local sources reported that nearly 80 percent of the school building was destroyed. The blast left the community shaken, raising concerns about the safety of education in a region long affected by conflict.
A senior district official confirmed that a full-scale investigation is underway. Authorities are collecting evidence to determine whether the destruction was caused by a drone strike or another type of attack. The uncertainty has heightened anxiety among residents, who fear further assaults.
The incident comes just days before schools across the district are scheduled to reopen on March 1. Parents and students now worry about disruptions to education and the security of learning environments.
A parent of one student urged authorities to rebuild the school immediately. They emphasized the need for lasting peace so children can attend classes without fear. “Education must be protected, and students should feel safe in their classrooms,” the parent said.
The attack has sparked broader concerns about the use of drone strikes in civilian areas. Experts note that such incidents, even without casualties, can severely damage infrastructure and communities’ sense of safety.
Officials have assured the public that steps will be taken to investigate and repair the damage. Security agencies are coordinating with local authorities to assess the area and prevent similar attacks in the future.
