The school was struck at least three times in rapid succession. A second impact targeted the school's prayer room where survivors had taken shelter after the first blast. The principal had called parents asking them to collect their children; several parents arrived after the second strike had already killed those sheltering. Human Rights Watch, Bellingcat, the BBC, and Reuters concluded that the US military was most likely responsible.
