Security forces across Delhi and the National Capital Region have been placed on high alert following a low-intensity explosion that occurred near the Red Fort Metro station on Monday morning. The incident has triggered massive security deployments and intensified checking of vehicles throughout the region.
Immediate Security Response and Investigation
The explosion took place at approximately 8:15 AM on November 10, 2025, sending shockwaves through one of Delhi's most sensitive areas. The location near the historic Red Fort and the busy Metro station raised immediate concerns among security agencies about the potential target and timing of the blast.
Preliminary investigations by the Delhi Police and security agencies indicate that the device was of low intensity, causing minimal damage to property and no casualties. Forensic teams have cordoned off the area and are conducting detailed examinations to gather evidence about the nature of the explosive device and the perpetrators behind the incident.
Regional Security Measures Intensified
In response to the security threat, Uttar Pradesh Police have significantly intensified vehicle checking operations across the National Capital Region, particularly at entry and exit points connecting to Delhi. Security has been tightened at all major transportation hubs, government buildings, and crowded market areas.
The Delhi Police has deployed additional forces at all Metro stations, with special focus on the Yellow Line where the Red Fort station is located. Commuters are facing enhanced security checks, including baggage screening and identity verification at multiple stations.
