A suicide bombing in Islamabad killed at least 12 people, while a car explosion in New Delhi’s Connaught Place area caused casualties. Both governments have quickly blamed each other, escalating fears of a worsening security situation.
On November 11, 2025, a suicide bomber targeted a police vehicle near a courthouse in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, killing at least 12 and injuring around 20.
The Pakistani government blamed “Indian proxies” for orchestrating the attack, while a faction of the Pakistani Taliban initially claimed responsibility but later denied involvement.
A day earlier, a car explosion rocked Connaught Place, a major commercial area in New Delhi, India, resulting in civilian casualties. Indian authorities have attributed the blast to terrorist elements linked to Pakistan, intensifying the already fragile relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
Though there has been no official confirmation linking the two incidents directly, analysts say the timing and mutual accusations reflect deepening mistrust and proxy conflicts that have defined the decades-long hostility.
The blasts come amid recent military skirmishes and diplomatic tensions that have kept South Asia on edge.The international community has expressed concern over the potential for escalation and urged restraint from both sides.
Investigations into both blasts are ongoing, with security forces in India and Pakistan stepping up alert levels.
