Unidentified gunmen entered Bacha Khan University in Khyber Pakhtunkha’s Charsadda town Wednesday and opened fire on students and faculty members as they gathered at the school for a poetry recital to commemorate the death anniversary of the activist and leader whom the school is named after.
As the military announced the end of the clearance operation, mass casualties were feared in the attack reminiscent of the deadly December 2014 terrorist attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar which left over 140 dead — most of them students.
Key updates:
- Hospital confirms 15 dead
- Military says 4 attackers killed, gunfire over
- Armed assailants scaled university walls and opened fire
- Multiple blasts were heard along with continuous heavy gunfire
- 3,000 students enrolled in the university

Everything is fair game in politics
Happy when attacked
Sad when someone else attacked
