Drone Strikes Madrassa, Then Rescue Team in Pakistan's North Waziristan

• A madrassa (Al-Fateh Public High School) in North Waziristan, Pakistan, was hit by a drone strike, injuring several, including children and school staff.
• The attack in Hassu Khel village near Mir Ali town used a quad-copter drone, a tactic associated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
• A Rescue 1122 team, responding to the initial strike, was subsequently targeted by a second drone attack by "Kharijites," injuring rescue personnel.
• Pakistani security forces have launched a search operation following the twin attacks.
• Sources attribute the attacks to "Kharijite" extremist elements, who are increasingly targeting civilians and educational institutions.

Why It Matters: Twin drone attacks in North Waziristan targeted a madrassa and then rescue workers, injuring many.
