🚨 This afternoon, Tuesday, November 11, 2025, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden jacket outside the Judicial Complex in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. At least 12 people were killed and 27 injured, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi confirmed.
First responders raced to the scene, moving victims to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences. Officials warn the death toll could rise as several injured are in critical condition.
Investigators say the attacker, blocked by tight security checks, targeted a police vehicle parked outside, sparking fires and damaging multiple cars.
Forensic teams recovered the bomber’s remains and have begun identification. Meanwhile, the district administration evacuated the court area and security forces launched a search operation nearby.
Lawyer Malik Khalid Khan, at the Judicial Complex during break hours, described the chaotic scene: 'We heard a massive explosion and saw smoke rising. People were running for cover.' 😔
No group has claimed responsibility, but security sources suspect the banned outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), believed to operate from Afghanistan.
As Islamabad reels from this tragedy, officials vow to strengthen security around key public sites and bring those responsible to justice. Stay tuned for updates as the story develops. 🙏
