Deadly Blast Strikes Islamabad Court Complex

Members of the forensic team work after a blast outside a court building in Islamabad, Pakistan, November 11, 2025.

A suicide bomber detonated explosives outside a court in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, killing at least 12 people and injuring dozens more. The attack occurred during peak hours as lawyers, police officers, and civilians were gathered near the judicial complex.

Authorities quickly cordoned off the area, and emergency services rushed the wounded to nearby hospitals. Security officials stated that the bomber targeted the entrance of the court, aiming to cause maximum casualties.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Islamabad has faced repeated assaults from militant organizations in recent years. The government condemned the bombing, vowing to strengthen security measures around sensitive institutions and pursue those behind the violence.

The incident underscores ongoing challenges to Pakistan’s internal security and highlights the vulnerability of public spaces in the capital.
