- The NIA detained Jasir Bilal Wani in Srinagar, alleging he provided technical support by altering drones and trying to build rudimentary rockets, and describing him as an active co-conspirator with Umar Un Nabi.
- Investigators say the November 10 blast used a vehicle-borne IED and have forensically identified Umar Un Nabi, a medical college assistant professor, as the deceased driver described as a suicide bomber.
- A Delhi court granted the NIA 10 days' custody of accused aide Amir Rashid Ali, who allegedly helped buy the Hyundai i20 later used in the explosion and in whose name the car was registered.
- Reported casualty figures continue to vary, with official and hospital tallies placing the death toll between 10 and 15 and injuries around 30 to 32 as records are reconciled.
- Agencies report ongoing searches across states linked to a ‘white-collar’ module that includes detained doctors, large seizures of explosive precursors of about 2,900 kg in Faridabad, and forensic indications of an ammonium nitrate–TATP mix.
