Gunmen attack university campus in Pakistan

Heavy gunfire and blasts were heard from inside the Bacha Khan university as gunmen tried to storm their way into the building, while according to reports at least three people are wounded.

The attack was carried out in Charsadda, about 50 km from the city of Peshawar, where in 2014 Talibans had murdered more than 130 students at a school.

Police have evacuated and surrounded the campus.

Saeed Khan Wazir, a senior police officer, told media, “There was severe fog as visibility was almost none, but the university is being surrounded by police and army soldiers. Efforts are underway to overcome the terrorists and clear the situation.”
