At least seven teachers were killed on Thursday when gunmen opened fire in a school in northwestern Pakistan, police and local media reported.

The shooting occurred at a government high school in the remote town of Parachinar, nestled on the border with neighboring Afghanistan, local broadcaster Dunya News reported.

Students at the school were taking annual exams when the shooting took place.
