# UN Security Council attributes November 2025 Red Fort blast to AQIS 2026-08-13T11:24:41+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The United Nations Security Council has officially attributed the November 2025 blast near Delhi’s Red Fort to Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), according to the 38th report of its Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team. The explosion, which killed 11 people and injured over two dozen, occurred when a Hyundai i20 carrying suspected suicide bomber Umar Un Nabi detonated near the historic monument. The report says AQIS has evolved from a fragmented group into a regional terrorist entity with strengthened logistics and financial networks, operating through small, scattered cells. It raises concerns about the group's efforts to use Bangladesh as a base. Separately, the report notes ISIL-linked instructions for producing biological toxins such as ricin, and that Indian authorities arrested three people, including a doctor, on charges of developing ricin for an ISIL cell abroad. ## Coverage - livemint.com - timesnownews.com Tags: AQIS, national security, NIA chargesheet, Red Fort blast, terrorism, UNSC report Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/unsc-attributes-november-2025-red-fort-blast-to-al-qaeda-in-indian-subcontinent/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
