Blasts rock capitals of India and Pakistan, raising tensions
- Two back-to-back blasts in less than a day hit Islamabad's district court complex and New Delhi's Red Fort area, killing at least 12 and 13 people respectively, stoking fears of escalation.
- Pakistan's leaders blamed India for backing proxies behind the Islamabad attack without evidence, while Jamaa‑ul‑Ahrar claimed responsibility for the bombing.
- Authorities intensified security and evidence collection as India's police and investigative agencies dismantled an inter‑state terror cell on Nov 10, arresting seven suspects and probing the Red Fort blast under the Unlawful Activities Act.
- Indian leaders responded by Narendra Modi vowing Nov 10 blast culprits `will not be spared` and Amit Shah ordering agencies to `hunt down each and every culprit`, while Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif declared the country `in a state of war` shortly after the Islamabad blast.
- The incidents follow a recent surge of cross‑border clashes that ended with a ceasefire mediated by Qatar and Türkiye on October 19; analysts warn unresolved Pakistan‑Afghanistan tensions and the TTP's activity could provoke more attacks as security forces rescued at least 300 cadets.
