Terrorists stormed a police training academy in Quetta, Pakistan, killing at least 59 and injuring not less than 117 others.

According to Britain's The Guardian, three men wearing suicide vests gunned down two guards at the academy's front gate before storming the dorms where 700 cadets were sleeping.

"They were carrying Kalashnikovs and firing blindly and throwing hand grenades," The Guardian quoted 23-year-old cadet Peer Jan Naeem. "No one was there to help us so we fell to the ground and hid beneath our beds."

Naeem said one of the terrorists shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is greater) before detonating his deadly payload.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, but Pakistani authorities suspect the Taliban and al Qaeda-linked groups are behind it.
