Emergency services, including police and rescue teams, immediately responded to the scene. Hospitals such as PIMS, Polyclinic, and CDA have activated emergency wards to treat the victims of the self-explosion.
Police have sealed off the area to prevent further incidents. A bomb disposal squad is currently investigating the site to determine how the attacker carried out the self-explosion. Authorities are also collecting evidence and eyewitness accounts to aid in the investigation.
Officials have urged residents to remain calm and avoid gathering near the blast site. Security forces have increased patrolling in surrounding areas to ensure public safety.

Medical teams at the hospitals are working around the clock to stabilize the injured. Families of victims are being provided with support, while authorities continue to coordinate rescue and relief operations.
The Islamabad police and security agencies are expected to release more information as the investigation progresses. They are also reviewing security protocols to prevent similar attacks in the future.
Authorities have appealed to the public to cooperate with law enforcement, provide information if available, and remain vigilant. The self-explosion has once again highlighted the challenges faced by security agencies in protecting sensitive locations.
