Explosions in Libya's Benghazi hit a primary school Wednesday, leaving six children wounded, according to Agence France Presse.

AFP sources said that the blast was caused "by an explosive device [that was] thrown over the exterior wall of the school." Children were playing outside when the device detonated.

Since the overthrow of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi, near-daily attacks have rocked Benghazi and other areas throughout Libya.
