A suicide bombing outside a district court in Islamabad on 11 Nov 2025 killed at least 12 people and injured dozens, shaking Pakistan’s capital.
Brief:
On 11 November 2025, a suicide bomber targeted the district judicial complex in Islamabad’s G-11 sector, killing 12 people and injuring more than 20. CCTV footage shows the attacker waiting near a police vehicle before detonating. The blast occurred at a typically crowded entrance, exposing the vulnerability of even high-security zones. Officials say the explosion is one of the most significant attacks in Islamabad in nearly a decade. Responsibility was claimed by a faction of the Tehrik‑e‑Taliban Pakistan (TTP), signalling a possible escalation in militant operations. Pakistan’s Interior Minister labelled the incident a “wake-up call” and condemned the “state of war” being forced on the country. The attack raises serious questions about security protocols in the capital, the capacity of intelligence agencies to intercept plots, and the broader impact on public confidence. Already facing pressure on multiple fronts—from border tensions to economic stress—Pakistan now must navigate renewed internal security challenges. For residents and policymakers alike, the incident underlines how fragile stability remains in urban centres and how much work remains in ensuring protection of civilians and institutions.
