Armed Maoists blew up two school buildings early Thursday in the naxal-hit Aurangabad district, police said.

Over 200 ultras surrounded a state-run school at Chandaur and blasted the building with dynamites in the wee hours, district SP N K Tiwari said.

In another attack, the naxalites detonated dynamites to blow up another school building at Belowa early morning, he said.

However, there are no reports of any injury or casualty.

A combing operation has been launched in the area to nab the ultras.
