As of October 16, 2026, the roof of a private school in Peshawar, Pakistan, collapsed during morning classes, killing at least 34 children and one teacher. The incident occurred on Thursday, October 15, when the traditional mud and brick roof gave way suddenly, trapping several students who suffocated under the debris. Over 50 people were injured in the collapse, some critically. Police arrested the school's owner, Mohammad Khan, after finding that recent rains had weakened one of the roofs, making it structurally unsound. The provincial government ordered inspections of all private schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure building safety and prevent future disasters.
