Reports said the attackers received training in Afghanistan. They also brought weapons from across the border. The terrorists selected children and killed them without mercy.

Pakistani Army soldiers reached the school quickly. They launched a counter-operation and killed all the attackers. By evening, funerals filled every street of Peshawar. Nearly 150 coffins turned the city of flowers into a city of tears.

This day changed Pakistan’s fight against terrorism. The state launched nationwide operations against extremists. Terror groups continue to misuse Afghan soil to target innocent Pakistanis.

Even today, Pakistan’s forces and people face Afghan-based terrorists. The nation must stand united again. Only unity can make Pakistan safe and peaceful for all.
