A vehicle exploded on Monday evening near the Red Fort in Delhi, the historic walled district in the heart of India’s capital. Authorities said at least 13 people were killed and about 20 others injured. The car had reportedly been parked near the site for several hours before the blast.

Government leaders condemned the attack and promised a full investigation, while security forces increased patrols around key transport hubs and official buildings. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage and tracing the vehicle’s ownership as Delhi remains on high alert.
