On 10 November 2025, a car exploded near the Red Fort in Delhi, India, killing at least 15 people and injuring more than 20 others. According to the Delhi Police, there were two to three people inside the car at the time of the explosion. The preliminary police findings indicated that the blast may have been a possible suicide attack, and the police have been investigating whether the incident was a deliberate terrorist act. On 12 November, the Indian government labeled the incident as a terrorist act. Further police reports indicated that the blast is suspected to have been caused by ammonium nitrate fuel oil and other explosives in the car, which triggered a fire that damaged multiple nearby vehicles. Investigators later traced the car used in the explosion to Umar Mohammed, a Pulwama-based doctor, who worked at at Al-Falah University in Faridabad and had alleged links to individuals arrested during the earlier police raids conducted in the city which led to the capture of more than 2,900 kg (6,400 lb) of explosives. Subsequent DNA analysis of the human remains found in the vehicle identified Umar as one of occupants of the car.
