At least 12 killed and multiple people injured following car bomb in Islamabad

A powerful car bomb exploded outside a district court in Pakistan's capital on Tuesday, killing at least 11 people and injuring 13 others.
The blast in Islamabad, which damaged several vehicles, occurred in a typically crowded area, though no group immediately claimed responsibility.
This incident followed an overnight attempt by militants to take cadets hostage at an army-run college in Wana, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Security forces foiled the college attack, killing two militants and cornering three others, with a clearance operation continuing into Tuesday.
Pakistan has experienced a surge in militant attacks, with the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) denying involvement in the college incident but being a significant factor in the country's security challenges.
