On the instructions of the Executive Director (ED) of PIMS, emergency has been imposed at the hospital, a spokesperson confirmed to Pakistani newspaper Dawn. He told that the main emergency, orthopedic, burn center and neurology departments have been activated.
There were suicide blasts in Islamabad 3 months ago also.
About three months ago, on November 11, 2025, suicide blasts also took place outside a District and Sessions Court building in the G-11 area of Islamabad. 12 people were killed and more than 30 people were injured in that blast. Pakistan had tried to blame India for this, but India had rejected it outright.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said that this is an old strategy of Pakistan, it diverts the attention of its people from real issues by creating false narratives. The leaders of Pakistan are in a state of confusion and are making false allegations against India to divert people’s attention from the political instability and power struggle of their country.
