State officials say at least 12 people were killed and 27 injured in a suicide attack outside an Islamabad court
A suicide bomb attack in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, has left over a dozen people dead and 27 injured, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Tuesday. The incident occurred outside a court building in the G-11 sector of the city.
Naqvi said the attacker had planned to enter the court building, but blew himself up near a police van outside the complex after being unable to gain access.
Security forces have since cordoned off the area and an investigation has been launched to determine those responsible for the attack. No official attribution or claim of responsibility has been made public so far.
While it is still unclear who was involved in the incident, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has linked the blast to Afghanistan. In a post on X, he stated that the "suicide attack" on the Islamabad District Court is a "wake-up call" that the conflict in the Afghan-Pakistan border region of Blochistan is "a war for all of Pakistan."
"The rulers of Kabul can stop terrorism in Pakistan, but bringing this war all the way to Islamabad is a message from Kabul, to which - praise be to God - Pakistan has the full strength to respond," he said.
