Explosion at Islamabad Police Station: Early on January 3, 2025, an explosion took place at a police station in the I-9 neighborhood of Islamabad, Pakistan. Although there were no reported casualties or major damage, the explosion allegedly rocked the station’s exterior wall. Initial reports indicated that the sound could have been misinterpreted as a tire burst, and officials said the explosion’s magnitude was limited.
The explosion happened at approximately 11:30 p.m. After hearing the explosion, a duty officer initially disregarded it, assuming it was a small-scale occurrence. Security personnel were sent to investigate the situation after the incident.
The cause of the explosion is being investigated by authorities. Although there have been no reports of instant blame, this incident is likely to result in increased security measures.
Concerns over security at Pakistani police facilities have been raised by this occurrence, which comes after a string of comparable incidents in recent months.
