Kailash Satyarthi, the Indian children's rights advocate who shared the Nobel prize with Yousafzai, wrote on Twitter: "These are all our children who've been murdered today. My heart bleeds for bereaved families. One of the darkest days of humanity."
As the carnage played out in Peshawar, Pakistan's military carried out 10 airstrikes in the Khyber region, between Peshawar and the Afghanistan border, based on "actionable intelligence" according to a spokesman.
The Pakistani Taliban has vowed to attack government targets as it fights off a huge army operation in the country's tribal region.
Taliban spokesman Muhammad Umar Khorasani told Reuters his group was responsible for the attack. "Our suicide bombers have entered the school, they have instructions not to harm the children, but to target the army personnel," he said.
