The incident took place a primary school in Dhob Darra of northwestern Upper Dir valley, where Taliban militants have been active. Two children who came to school early found a grenade lying on the ground. One of the children was critically wounded while the other had light injuries, Khan said, adding that police suspect militants had left the grenade there.
