At least one minor girl died and three others sustained injuries in a roadside blast in Spinwam tehsil of North Waziristan on Monday, DawnNews reported.

Security sources said the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was planted next to the school gate which went off when the gate was opened.

No classes were taking place at that day and the children were going to the Abakhel School to play when the bomb planted outside it went off.

The injured were shifted to Mir Ali Hospital and Miranshah Hospital. Operations against militants in North Waziristan were stepped up after the government decided to implement the nation-wide National Action Plan for combating terrorism in the country.
