WUYAN, PULWAMA — A quiet evening turned into a nightmare for the people of Wuyan Pampore as a massive fire broke out at MTQ Public School, setting off waves of panic across the community.
The fire erupted so suddenly that by the time anyone could react, the entire school building was already ablaze. Eyewitnesses watched in horror as flames leapt through the roof and windows, painting the sky with thick black smoke. The cries of terrified residents filled the air as people rushed to safety, some shouting for their loved ones, others simply weeping.
What has left the community even more shaken is the eerie sight of what appeared to be 4 to 5 missiles streaking across the sky, their trails glowing against the night backdrop. Residents reported seeing fighter jets circling above, their roars adding to the confusion and fear that gripped the area.
Debris from the school now litters the ground — shattered concrete, mangled metal, and scorched tree limbs surround what was once a place of learning and laughter. The unbearable heat forced people to flee as nearby trees caught fire and branches fell like burning torches.
Emergency services are struggling to make their way through the chaos, and at the time of reporting, no official word has been given on what triggered this disaster or the strange lights in the sky.
For now, authorities have urged everyone to remain indoors and avoid the affected zone. The people of Wuyan are left with more questions than answers — and a deep sense of loss hanging in the air.
