A car blast in the bustling heart of the Indian capital has killed at least eight people and injured another 19, officials say.
Police have not given details on the cause, but say that forensic and anti-terrorism agencies are at the site, near the landmark Red Fort.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi offers his condolences to the families of those killed, and says he has “reviewed the situation” with Home Minister Amit Shah and other officials.
The blast took place in the early evening, as people returned from work, close to a metro station in the crowded Old Delhi quarter of the city.
Ambulances streamed into a nearby public hospital, carrying several injured people, AFP reporters say.
Citing authorities at the hospital, New Delhi’s deputy chief fire officer AK Malik tells AFP that “eight people have died so far and 19 are injured.”
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
