2011 Mumbai bombings

The 2011 Mumbai bombings refer to a series of coordinated terrorist attacks that occurred on July 13, 2011, in Mumbai, India. Three bombs exploded in quick succession at bustling locations in the city, including the Zaveri Bazar market, the Opera House, and Dadar, resulting in the deaths of 26 individuals and injuring over 130 others. The attacks were attributed to the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, although other groups were also implicated in investigations. The bombings marked a significant escalation in urban terrorism in India and prompted a nationwide debate on security measures and the effectiveness of counter-terrorism strategies. The incident was widely condemned, both domestically and internationally, highlighting ongoing concerns regarding terrorism in the region.
