Unidentified gunmen have attacked a primary school in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi, killing the principal of the school and injuring eight children, police officials say.
“The principal of (the Nation School) was killed and eight children were wounded when unknown gunmen fired at school gate …,” AFP quoted senior police official Imran Shaukat as saying on Saturday.
Reports say that the attackers fled on motorbikes.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Pakistani officials put the blame on pro-Taliban militants who have carried out similar assaults in the past.
