A tragic accident occurred on Monday in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the north-western province of Pakistan. Here the children picked up the bomb thinking it was a toy, after which it exploded. At least three children, including two real brothers, died in the bomb blast. The incident took place in Jani Khel area of Wazir subdivision of Bannu. According to local sources, the children were returning home from the madrassa when a mortar shell exploded, killing three students including two brothers.
The mortar shell was lying in a deserted area
According to the information, the mortar shell was lying in a deserted area. The children picked it up thinking it was a toy, after which there was a massive explosion. Even before, many children have lost their lives in this way. During investigation, what the children thought was a toy turned out to be an explosive device. Such incidents are mostly reported in north-west Pakistan.
Meanwhile, let us also note here that such mortar shells were fired by the Soviet Army in the 1980s to use them as weapons against people opposing their invasion of neighboring Afghanistan. These mortar shells look like ‘toys’. Now many times children pick up these mortar shells considering them as ‘toys’, due to which people get injured.
