A deadly Islamabad G-11 court suicide blast took place on Tuesday afternoon, killing 12 people and injuring many others. The explosion happened near the district court in the G-11 sector around 12:30 p.m., spreading fear across the area as the loud blast was heard miles away. Police and rescue teams quickly reached the scene and began moving the injured to nearby hospitals.

According to police reports, the attacker was riding a motorcycle and detonated explosives near a police vehicle parked close to the court.

Police sources suspect that the attack was linked to groups allegedly supported by Indian and Afghan networks, calling it a continuation of extremist proxy activities in the region. The law enforcement agencies have started a full investigation to trace the handlers behind the assault.
