Two teachers and a student were injured yesterday when suspected militants hurled a grenade at a school in insurgency-hit southwestern Pakistan.

The militants lobbed the grenade at a state-run junior school in Quetta, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, senior police officer Khalid Manzoor said.

The grenade blew off the staffroom’s roof and splinters hit two female teachers and an eight-year-old student, he said.

“The teachers had wounds to their heads but both are out of danger in the hospital,” Manzoor said, adding that the student had only minor injuries.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

Grenade and bomb explosions and drive-by shootings are fairly frequent in impoverished Baluchistan province, which is gripped by an insurgency.
