Suspected terrorists attacked a government higher secondary school for girls in Pakistan's Kotka Mambati Barakzai area and set it on fire on Thursday.

A police official told Dawn News the school was located in Miryan tehsil.

He said the attackers set the science lab and equipment dumped there on fire.
