Emergency response teams, including the police bomb disposal squad, promptly arrived at the scene, while the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical care.
A security source disclosed that the deceased student, whose identity has not yet been confirmed, was reportedly carrying a substance suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) when it detonated.
The explosion caused injuries to other students and widespread panic within the school premises.
Authorities at the school were unavailable for comment, and the Federal Capital Territory Police Command has yet to issue an official statement.
