Pakistan Bacha Khan University Attack Death Toll Rises To 25, Around 60 Injured
Pakistani police say a professor and a student have been killed in an attack by gunmen at a university in the country's northwest.
Earlier, the police and army were exchanging gunfire with the attackers and several explosions were heard from the area of the Bacha Khan University in the town of Charsadda, located some 35 kilometers (21 miles) outside the city of Peshawar.
Pakistani TV stations are broadcasting footage showing heavy military presence at the university, troops rushing in and people fleeing. Ambulances are at the scene and wounded are being taken to hospital.
