ByEnigma 808

A devastating explosion killed 13 people and injured 24 others near the Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi at 6:52 p.m., with authorities investigating the blast as a potential terror incident. The high-intensity detonation occurred inside a Hyundai i20 registered in Haryana that had stopped at a traffic signal, damaging nine nearby vehicles and scattering debris across the tourist-heavy area.

National Investigation Agency teams and National Security Guard personnel joined Delhi Police in examining the scene, while Home Minister Amit Shah briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on developments. Multiple states, including Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bihar, have heightened security measures following the incident. Police discovered 2,900 kilograms of explosives in Faridabad, located 50 kilometers from the capital, on the same day as the attack near the 17th-century Mughal monument.
