《紐約時報》（The New York Times）報導，這起悲劇發生在Dir Colony社區的Al-Khair教育系統（Al-Khair Education System）的一棟3層建築，當時學童正在不同樓層的教室上課，屋頂多處崩塌，碎片砸入下方教室。
11歲的比比（Samra Bibi）因忘了帶鉛筆，離開教室到一樓販賣部拿筆，就在那一刻屋頂倒塌，她因此逃過一劫，毫髮無傷。她的父親扎明（Muhammad Zameen）說：「整晚她都抱著媽媽或我……她非常難過，想念她的老師」。另一名家長卡汗（Ismail Khan）則失去6歲女兒，上周五（16日）在女兒葬禮後於家門外接待弔唁者，氣氛沉痛。
At Least 29 Killed, Mostly Young Children, in Deadly Peshawar School Roof Collapse; Owner Arrested. PESHAWAR, Pakistan — The roof of a private school collapsed during morning classes Thursday in Peshawar, killing at least 28 students and one female teacher, hospital officials said, with 19 others injured, some critically. The incident struck the Al-Khair school in the Dir Colony area shortly after 8:48 a.m. local time. A higher-floor roof fell onto classrooms below, crumpling floors and trapping children, mostly ages 7 to 16. Lady Reading Hospital declared an emergency as bodies and the wounded arrived; three children remained under treatment for severe head injuries. Rescue teams cleared the debris by afternoon, confirming no one else remained trapped, though narrow streets slowed efforts. Police arrested the school’s owner. Preliminary findings pointed to a weak structure overloaded by construction. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi ordered a province-wide structural safety audit of schools. President Asif Ali Zardari called the tragedy “heart-wrenching” and urged a full investigation, while Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed maximum medical aid for the injured and support for grieving families. Building collapses remain a recurring risk in Pakistan due to poor standards and materials. Authorities vowed accountability to prevent further losses. #Peshawar #SchoolCollapse

救援人員瓦哈卜（Fazal Wahab）描述，學童正在上課時屋頂分段塌陷。事發時間約為當地早上8時48分，救援行動在數小時內完成，至少40名兒童被活著救出。白沙瓦警察局長賽義德（Mian Saeed）指出，建築結構脆弱，屋頂因額外施工而超載。部分報導指近期降雨可能加劇屋頂不穩，且使用了劣質建材。
家長先前早已就建築品質提出警告。有家屬表示曾向校方投訴雨水滲漏與牆面、屋頂惡化，但未獲處理。事後警方逮捕學校擁有者卡汗（Mohammad Khan），並對擁有者、股東與承包商立案，指控使用劣質材料且無視先前投訴。
⭕ The death toll in the #Pakistan school roof collapse rose to 35 including a female teacher in #Peshawar. Most of the students were 7-13 year old. Thousands joined in to attend the funeral with heart breaking scenes; and as they say 🥀 "smallest coffins are the heaviest." One top floor roof of the small building being used as a welfare school, collapsed in the morning and as people rushed for rescue the added weight and movement led to the collapse of second roof. Around 110 #students were in the school. Many received minor injuries and a few are reported critical. Poorer localities across the country have thousands of similar private schools that get no govt funding and are run with nominal fees; with little left to spend on safer buildings. Years of political instability has led to a dysfunctional state of affairs; impacting every sphere of life. #PeshawarSchool

開伯爾-普赫圖赫瓦省（Khyber Pakhtunkhwa）省長昆迪（Faisal Karim Kundi）下令全省私立學校進行安全檢查，教育部門須在3天內提交報告，並宣布對遇難家庭提供補償。總理謝里夫（Shehbaz Sharif）要求全力救治傷者，並展開徹底調查。
這起事件凸顯巴基斯坦私立學校建築監管不足的問題。在快速擴張的私人教育需求下，許多校舍以臨時或不合標準方式興建，安全檢查執行不力。當局已封鎖該校舍，進一步調查持續進行，全國各地學校安全問題再次受到關注。
