A suicide bombing at a Shia imambargah in Islamabad's Shehzad Town killed at least 31 people and injured 169 during Friday prayers. The explosion at Tarlai Imambargah scattered severed limbs across the prayer area as desperate families searched for loved ones. Emergency services rapidly transported victims to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences and Polyclinic hospitals, which declared emergencies. The attack coincides with Uzbekistan President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's state visit and follows recent deadly clashes between Pakistani forces and the Balochistan Liberation Army. This marks Islamabad's second major bombing in six months, after November's court complex suicide attack killed 12. Videos showed security personnel cordoning off the site as forensic teams and medical staff flooded the area.
