A devastating suicide bombing outside a court complex in Pakistan's capital Islamabad killed at least 12 people on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, according to the country's Interior Minister. The attack marks one of the deadliest security breaches in the city this year.
Emergency responders rushed victims to nearby hospitals as security forces cordoned off the high-security Red Zone area. Authorities confirmed the explosion occurred during morning hours when the court was operational, amplifying casualties among civilians and legal staff.
While no group has immediately claimed responsibility, analysts note the attack follows patterns of recent militant activity in urban centers. Islamabad police have launched a city-wide alert and initiated forensic investigations.
This incident raises fresh concerns about regional security dynamics as Pakistan prepares for winter parliamentary sessions. International observers are closely monitoring implications for foreign investment and diplomatic engagements in South Asia.
