CHARSADDA / ISLAMABAD—A gun and bomb attack on a university in northwestern Pakistan Wednesday killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens more.

Military spokesman Asim Bajwa told reporters 18 students and two university staff were among those killed after what he described as a group of four terrorists stormed the Bacha Khan University in the town of Charsadda. Bajwa said troops, including army commandos, gunned down the four attackers and conducted a “block by block” clearing operation before securing the entire university campus.
