Close to 100 students have been killed in a terror attack by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the country's Army public school in Peshawar.

Almost 10 terrorists stormed inside the school dressed as Frontier Corps' officers and two to three militants have been killed, reported ARY News.

The TTP spokesman Muhammad Khorasani said that the attackers were asked to target the older children but not the younger ones.

Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attack saying that the terrorists should not be spared and that the kids were the foremost priority at the moment.

The army is trying to bring the situation under control as 500 students and teachers are still believed to be trapped inside the school.
