A car explosion outside Islamabad’s district court left eight people injured, creating panic and chaos in the area. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the blast.
According to police sources, the explosion occurred during peak court hours, causing extensive damage to nearby vehicles and court premises. Rescue teams quickly arrived at the scene, shifting the injured to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for emergency treatment.
Law enforcement agencies have cordoned off the area and initiated a full-scale investigation. Initial reports suggest that the blast could have been caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) placed inside or near the vehicle, though officials have not ruled out the possibility of a gas cylinder explosion.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos as smoke billowed through the court premises and people scrambled for safety. Islamabad police and bomb disposal units are working together to identify the source and motive behind the explosion.
Authorities have tightened security around key judicial and government installations following the incident. The government has condemned the attack and assured that those responsible will be brought to justice.
This tragic event has once again raised concerns about urban safety and the growing need for enhanced surveillance and intelligence coordination in th
e capital.
