PESHAWAR: Two explosions took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu and Kohat’s Dhoda area whereas two bombs were defused in the northwestern province’s Bannu and Charsadda regions on Friday.

In Bannu’s Tana area, bomb disposal squad personnel defused a three-kilogram explosive device.

Moreover, town municipal authority personnel discovered a bomb in the Shabqadar tehsil of Charsadda. The BDS was immediately sought after the discovery of the explosive device.

In Hangu’s Muhammad Khawaja area, militants blew up a government high school, partially damaging the structure, local political administration sources told Dawn.com. Whereas in Kohat’s Dhoda area, unknown persons hurled a hand-grenade inside a house, causing minor damage to it but causing no casualties.

No loss of life was reported in these incidents.

In another incident, militants killed a man in Mohmand’s Halimzai area for allegedly supporting the pro-government peace committee in the region.
