2009 Guwahati bombings

The 2009 Guwahati bombings refer to a series of coordinated bomb blasts that occurred on October 30, 2009, in Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. The bombings resulted in the deaths of at least 88 people and injured over 400, marking one of the deadliest attacks in the region's history. The blasts targeted public spaces, including marketplaces and crowded areas, causing widespread panic and chaos. The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), a separatist militant group, was suspected of orchestrating the attacks as part of their long-standing struggle for independence. The incident prompted a significant security response, leading to increased military presence and heightened tensions in Assam.
