2009 bombing of Indian embassy in Kabul
The 2009 bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, occurred on July 7, 2009, and resulted in significant casualties and damage. A suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden vehicle near the embassy, targeting Indian diplomatic personnel and Afghan civilians. The attack claimed the lives of at least 58 individuals and injured over 140, including a number of Indian diplomats and security officials. This incident marked one of the deadliest assaults on an Indian diplomatic mission abroad and heightened security concerns for Indian interests in Afghanistan. The bombing was widely attributed to terrorist groups with links to Pakistan, further straining Indo-Pakistani relations and prompting India to reassess its diplomatic presence in the region.
