Red Fort blast in Delhi kills over 10, UAPA invoked as terror probe begins

A devastating car explosion near Delhi’s historic Red Fort killed eight people and injured more than 20 others on Monday evening, sending shockwaves across the capital and placing security agencies on high alert. The blast, which occurred at a busy traffic signal near Red Fort Metro Station, gutted several vehicles and is being investigated as a possible suicide attack after authorities discovered that a car with three occupants detonated instantly.
