Maoists blow up two schools in Jharkhand

Jharkhand: Maoists blew up two schools in Jharkhand's Giridih district early on Tuesday.

The ultras packed explosives inside Upgraded Haridih School and Upgraded Dharpahari School, damaging the structures, police said. There was no loss of life in the incident.

Police personnel have set out on foot to reach the place of the bombing to avoid landmines. Maoists usually trigger blasts in schools that security forces have used as shelters during anti-naxal operations.
