The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the devastating suicide bombing at a Shia mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan. The attack, which took place during Friday prayers, resulted in the deaths of at least 31 worshippers and left over 160 others injured.
The bomber detonated explosives inside the Khadija al-Kubra mosque, causing mass casualties and widespread panic. This tragedy underscores the persistent threat posed by ISIS in the region, particularly their strategy of targeting religious minorities and sacred spaces.
While Pakistani authorities continue their investigation, the claim by ISIS highlights significant security lapses in the capital. The incident has drawn international condemnation and renewed fears about the resurgence of extremist violence destabilizing the region further.
