Delhi blast puts Pakistan on high alert; Munir puts all three forces on high alert, fears of war increase
New Delhi/Islamabad, Nov 11, 2025 (Special Correspondent): The horrific blast that took place near the historic Red Fort in the capital Delhi on Monday evening has not only scared India but also neighboring Pakistan. The blast killed 10 people and injured many others. Although initial investigations indicate that it was a terrorist attack, the central investigation agencies have started a thorough investigation. In the wake of this incident, Pakistan called an urgent high-level meeting at night, issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) and ordered all three of its armed forces to be on high alert. Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir himself has directed the armed forces to be vigilant in this time of crisis under the threat of a possible attack from India. Due to this incident, tensions between the two countries have once again reached their peak and the international community has appealed for peace.
The blast took place at around 6 pm on Monday evening. A loud explosion suddenly occurred in a crowded area near the Red Fort, causing nearby buildings to collapse and creating a plume of smoke. According to eyewitnesses, the blast was so powerful that it was felt at least 500 metres away. Rescue operations have been launched immediately and teams of Delhi Police, NSG (National Security Guard) and fire brigade have shifted the injured to hospitals. So far, 10 people have been reported dead and over 25 are undergoing treatment. The Union Home Ministry has handed over the preliminary investigation into the case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the preliminary report has mentioned the use of explosives like RDX. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken note of the incident and has assured strict punishment to the culprits. "This attack is a matter of our security and we will face any kind of threat," he wrote on Twitter (now X).
The political and military atmosphere in Pakistan has heated up due to the fear spread in the wake of the blast. According to Pakistani officials, the Delhi blasts could be an attempt to create a pretext for an attack on Pakistan by India. Fearing this, Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir called an emergency meeting at the General Headquarters in Islamabad at 11 pm. The chiefs of all three services participated in this meeting, and Munir clearly said, "All military systems should be on full alert in view of the possibility of a possible attack by India. This is a sensitive time and we have to be ready to respond to any kind of attack." After this meeting, Pakistan issued a NOTAM for November 11 and 12, in which restrictions on flights have been imposed in the airspace. In addition, all security measures on the border have been doubled, and air defense systems have been activated. The Pakistani Air Force has kept its fighter jets ready, and the Navy has alerted the fleet in the Arabian Sea.
The root cause of this incident is the fallout from the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in April, in which many Indian tourists were killed. India then launched 'Operation Sindoor' and carried out air strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan, targeting the headquarters of Jaish-e-Mohammed. Pakistan suffered a major blow in this operation, after which a peace agreement was signed between the two countries. In this agreement, India had clearly warned that "we will give a strong response to any future terrorist attacks." Pakistani officials believe that the Delhi blasts may be linked to organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed, which could lead to India carrying out another 'Operation Sindoor'-like operation. "We are aware that India can use this incident against us. Therefore, we are on full alert," an official from the Pakistani Defense Ministry has officially said.
The incident has raised concerns internationally. The United Nations has appealed to both countries to exercise restraint, and powers like the United States and China have shown their readiness to mediate. Although China has shown support for Pakistan, the United States has taken a stand in India's favor. "Terrorism has no place and we support India's security," the US State Department said. While India has not yet officially accused Pakistan, the State Department said, "We are gathering all the evidence and will disclose it at the appropriate time." In this backdrop, tensions on the Kashmir border have increased, and military activities on both sides have intensified.
Although the blast has spread an atmosphere of fear in Delhi, ordinary citizens have reacted in unison. NGOs have carried out relief work in the Red Fort area, and hashtags like #DelhiBlast and #StandWithIndia are trending on social media. Anxiety has also increased among the general public in Pakistan, with some media outlets giving the headline "Fear of Indian attack". According to experts, this incident could pose a threat to peace between the two countries, but diplomatic efforts can prevent this. Although the situation is serious at the moment, both governments are expected to take peaceful measures. All eyes are on the results of the investigation and the political reactions in the future.
