Islamabad: Nobel laureate and education activist Malala Yousafzai has returned to Pakistan, media reports said.
It is nearly after five years that she has returned to her homeland since she left it following a failed assassination attempt by Taliban gunmen.
"Yousafzai's flight — Emirates' EK-614 — landed at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport at 1:41 AM (approximately 16 minutes after the scheduled time), travelling via Dubai. She was moved to a local hotel amid strict security after her arrival," Geo News reported giving details of her arrival in Pakistan.
She is reportedly going to meet Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Malala received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
She was shot by Taliban militants in 2012 when she was returning from school in Swat region of the country.
After initial treatment in Pakistan, she was later flown to London.
The incident was condemned internationally.
