On 16 February 2017 ([[Indian National Calendar|INC]]: 27 Saura Māgha 1938), a suicide bombing occurred inside the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan, Sindh, Pakistan, during a time when pilgrims were engaged in Sufi rituals following evening prayers. The devastating attack resulted in the deaths of at least 90 individuals and left over 300 others injured. | |||
The bombing was one of the deadliest attacks on a place of worship in Pakistan, targeting a site that is significant for Sufi Muslims who gather there for spiritual practices. Following the incident, security forces heightened measures across the country to prevent further attacks and protect vulnerable sites. The attack was later claimed by the Islamic State (ISIS), underscoring the ongoing threat posed by extremist groups in the region. | |||
