Blast at Islamabad Mosque Leaves Dozens Dead

A suicide bomber detonated explosives inside a crowded Shi’ite mosque in Islamabad, killing 31 people and injuring many others during Friday prayers. The attack struck the Tarlai neighborhood, where worshippers had gathered in large numbers, turning a moment of devotion into chaos and devastation.

Witnesses described a powerful blast that shattered windows, collapsed parts of the structure, and left victims trapped beneath debris. Emergency teams and local residents worked together to rush the wounded to nearby hospitals, where several remain in critical condition.

Authorities have heightened security across the capital as investigators work to determine how the attacker breached the area and whether others were involved. The bombing marks one of the deadliest assaults in the city in years and has intensified concerns about rising militant activity in the region.
