At Least 30 Dead as School Roof Collapses in Pakistan

A roof collapse at a school in Peshawar, Pakistan, has killed more than 30 pupils and a teacher, according to hospital officials. Over a dozen others sustained injuries, some critically, and fears remain that several children are still trapped beneath the rubble.

Emergency services responded to the incident at the school in the north-western Pakistani city. Eyewitness accounts from pupils who were present indicate that a 'cracking' sound was heard moments before the roof gave way.
