The blast came shortly after India carried out Operation Sindoor, which targeted terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This action was India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22.

PM Sharif Reportedly Taken to Bunker

According to reports, Prime Minister Sharif moved into a secure bunker soon after the explosion. The blast raised major security concerns near Pakistan’s top leadership.

Investigation Underway

Authorities have launched a probe into the explosion. However, they have not confirmed whether the blast is directly linked to India’s airstrikes.

Meanwhile, tensions between India and Pakistan remain at a peak. As investigations continue, people across Islamabad are waiting for more details.
