At least 12 people have died and 27 others have sustained injuries following an explosion outside a courthouse in Islamabad, Pakistan, as reported by local media on Tuesday.
The injured were taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, according to the state broadcaster PTV News.
“At 12:39 pm (0739 GMT), a suicide attack was carried out at the Kachehri (district courts), so far 12 people have been martyred and around 27 are wounded,” Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi told reporters at the scene of the incident.
The explosion occurred in a vehicle parked near the entrance to the district court in Islamabad, which is usually crowded with litigants. Local news outlets displayed graphic images of the scene, featuring bloodied individuals near a police van.
This terrorist attack in Islamabad happened just one day after 13 people lost their lives in New Delhi, the capital of neighbouring India, due to a car explosion.
Pakistan and India have accused each other of harbouring terrorist groups responsible for such violent incidents.
