KARACHI, Pakistan: Unknown miscreants threw a grenade on a private school in Gulshan-i-Iqbal Block area of Karachi on Tuesday morning; however, luckily no human loss occurred.

The blast took place at a time when no students or staff members were present in the school because the educational institution had not been opened yet.

The Sindh education minister Nisar Ahmed Khuhro took notice of the blast and sought a report over the incident from Additional Inspector General (AIG) Karachi police.

Later, another explosion took place near a vehicle of the Pakistan Rangers in SITE area of Karachi.
