PESHAWAR, Pakistan:*A group of militants stormed a university in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, police said, with firing inside the campus still going on and two explosions heard.

Media reported that three gunmen entered the Bacha Khan University in Charsadda, northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and opened fire on students and teachers in classrooms and hostels.*

A chemistry professor had been killed and 50 people wounded in the attack, according to media reports. Two militants were killed by security forces, said police who added most of the students had been rescued.*

Pakistan has killed and arrested hundreds of suspected militants under a counter-terrorism plan enacted after a massacre of school children in December 2014 in its volatile northwest.

Deputy Inspector General Saeed Wazir told Reuters that the number of gunmen was unclear but police had moved into the university and a gunfight with the attackers was under way.

"We launched an operation inside the university and are trying to rescue the students and staff of the institution," Wazir said.

Shabir Khan, a lecturer in the English department, said he was about to leave the hostel for the department when firing began.

"Most of the students and staff were in classes when the firing began," Khan said. "I have no idea about what's going on but I heard one security official talking on the phone to someone and said many people had been killed and injured."*

"Gunmen have entered the university campus from the southern side," said Fazal.

"There are male and female staff members and students on the campus," he said, adding he had been on his way to work when he was informed of the attack.

"There was no announced threat but we had already beefed up security at the university."

Peshawar was the location of Pakistan's deadliest ever extremist attack, when Taliban gunmen stormed an army-run school in December last year and slaughtered more than 150 people, most of them children, in an hours-long siege.

The attack on the school prompted a crackdown on extremism in Pakistan, with the military increasing an offensive against militants in the tribal areas where they had previously operated with impunity.

On Tuesday, a suicide attack at a market on the city's outskirts killed 10 people as well as the bomber.
