The 2011 Agra bombing refers to a fatal terrorist attack that occurred on 13 February 2011 in Agra, India, near the iconic Taj Mahal. The blast took place outside the historic monument, targeting a group of tourists and local visitors. The explosion was attributed to an improvised explosive device (IED) concealed in a public area, resulting in multiple casualties, including deaths and injuries. The incident prompted widespread condemnation from Indian officials and calls for enhanced security measures in tourist hotspots. Investigations later linked the attack to various extremist groups operating in the region, raising concerns about rising terrorism in India.
