The attack occurred at night while the school was closed, no students or staff were present. A senior district administration confirmed that a full-scale investigation is now underway. Authorities are collecting evidence from scene to determine whether destruction was caused by a drone strike or another form of assault. The uncertainty has only deepened anxiety in an already fragile region.
With schools across district scheduled to reopen on March 1, parents and students now fear yet another disruption to an education system already battered by years of conflict.
A parent of one student urged the government not only to reconstruct the destroyed building immediately, but to secure lasting peace in the region so children can pursue their studies without living in constant fear.
