The children picked up the unploded ammunition in a neighboring field, confusing it with a toy and brought him back to their village where he exploded later, Unicef said.
Munitions are probably one of the many unspecified shells that remain military clashes between Pakistan and India in May, according to reports.
Extending condolences to affected people, the agency stressed that “no child should be the victim of land mines or unploded ammunition”.
The organization denounced the presence of explosive remains of the war, while they continue to present fatal risks for children and communities in conflict areas – and old conflict zones – in the world.
Munition risks education
Since January, UNICEF has collaborated with the government to educate 9,500 children on the risks posed by remaining ammunition in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The agency has called on Pakistan to increase support for the education of the risk of explosion in life.
