Massive Explosion Rocks Delhi Near Historic Red Fort
A devastating car explosion near Delhi's iconic Red Fort has claimed 9 lives and left 20 people injured in what witnesses described as a horrific incident that unfolded on 10 November 2025. The powerful blast occurred in the evening around 7:18 PM, sending shockwaves through the capital city and triggering immediate emergency response operations.
Eyewitness Accounts: Deafening Blast and Widespread Impact
Multiple eyewitnesses present at the scene reported that the explosion was so intense that it left them temporarily deaf. "The sound was absolutely deafening," one witness recounted. "For several minutes after the blast, we couldn't hear anything clearly. It was complete chaos and confusion."
The impact of the explosion was felt across a wide area, with the loud blast being heard as far as ITO, approximately two kilometers away from the explosion site. This indicates the tremendous force of the detonation that occurred in the vehicle near one of Delhi's most famous historical monuments.
Emergency Response and Investigation Underway
Immediately following the explosion, emergency services rushed to the scene to provide medical assistance to the injured and secure the area. The 20 injured individuals were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment, with medical teams working through the night to stabilize critical patients.
Security forces have cordoned off the entire area around the Red Fort as investigation teams begin their work to determine the exact cause of the explosion. Forensic experts are examining the wreckage of the vehicle to gather evidence about the nature of the explosive device used in what appears to be a carefully planned attack.
The timing and location of the explosion near the Red Fort, a symbol of India's rich history and sovereignty, has raised serious security concerns. Authorities have heightened alert levels across the capital and are reviewing security protocols at all major landmarks and public spaces.
