Two car bombs exploded south of the Yemeni capital city of Sanaa on Tuesday, hitting a school bus traveling near a Shia gathering and killing 25 people including at least 15 primary school students, a Shia group said.
The Shia rebel fighters, known as Houthis, blamed Al-Qaeda for the attack in the Radaa area of Baydah province, calling it “the ugliest crime against childhood.” The group said the school bus was carrying female primary school students.
According to recent reports, at least 126 mostly students were killed and dozens others injured when militants attacked an army-run school situated on Warsak Road in Peshawar Tuesday. ISPR now confirms that all terrorists have been killed.
Five or six militants wearing military uniforms entered the Army Public School in the city of Peshawar, a source at the school told.

Conflict between government troops and armed rebels left at least seven Burmese soldiers dead and another 20 injured in eastern Burma late last week, state media reported on Monday.
State-owned daily Global New Light of Myanmar said the clash was prompted by a rebel “ambush” on government columns in Kunlong Township, located in northern Shan State near the border with China. The deadly incident took place on Dec. 10, the report said.
Rebel group fighters clashed with pro-government forces for the second consecutive day on Sunday as they pressed an advance on a key oil region in eastern Libya, sources on both sides reported.
Separately, at least four Fajr Libya militiamen were killed and 10 wounded in an air strike by pro-government forces near the Ras Jedir border crossing with Tunisia, a military source said.
At least 26 rebel fighters were killed Sunday by the Syrian troops in the northern province of Aleppo, a monitoring group said.
The killed rebels were from an array of jihadi groups, mainly the Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, Xinhua quoted the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as saying.
