Pakistan opens investigation into Islamabad terror attack

On November 12, 2025, a suicide attack outside district court buildings in Islamabad resulted in 12 fatalities and 27 injuries. The attack occurred during a busy time of day, with the bomber attempting to breach the court premises before detonating a device near a police vehicle. Following the incident, Pakistani ministers claimed that 'Indian state terrorism' was responsible, a statement that India has firmly denied. This accusation adds to the already strained relations between Pakistan and India, emphasizing the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region. The investigation into the attack is crucial not only for accountability but also for addressing security concerns that have been exacerbated by such violent incidents.
