There were no reported injuries in the fire bombing attack on the night of May 16-17.
On May 15, a girls school was torched in northern Balkh Province, causing some injuries.
A similar attack on a girls school was reported in central Wardak Province, also on May 15. No injuries were reported in that incident.
These are the latest in a series of attacks on schools and other educational institutions in Afghanistan. Such attacks have been blamed on the Taliban, which banned girls from school during its rule.
