Two terror groups, Babbar Khalsa International and the Punjab Sovereignty Alliance (PSA), have claimed responsibility for an improvised explosive device (IED) blast near the Nalagarh police station in Himachal Pradesh. The groups stated the attack was a response to the alleged manufacturing and distribution of synthetic drugs in Himachal Pradesh, which are reportedly sent to Punjab, causing youth deaths. They warned of further actions if authorities do not address the issue. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is investigating the incident, with forensic teams examining the blast site, which showed a significant crater.
