Officials said evidence was being collected from the sites while efforts were underway to identify those involved.\n\nAmid a surge in terrorism in KP, militants have also targeted civil infrastructure in the region, including bridges and schools.\n\nIn March, unidentified miscreants blew up a government school in KP’s Bannu district. A month before that, an explosion destroyed parts of a government school in South Waziristan’s Birmal tehsil.\n\nIn January, separate bridges in North Waziristan’s Shewa and Mir Ali tehsils were destroyed using explosives. The Shewa incident severed land links between the area and Miranshah, Bannu and other adjoining regions.",
