Executive Summary On Friday, February 6, 2026, Pakistan witnessed one of its lethal bomb attempts: a suicide bomber exploded in a Shia mosque on the outskirts of Islamabad. While the perpetrator remains unidentified, this act against the Shia community is part of a broader pattern and occurs during a precarious period for Pakistan’s internal stability. Thus, this report underscores how a potential re-emergence of sectarian fractures deepens the already unstable picture and how it can affect regional balances. Key Points The Shia-Sunni juxtaposition is a collateral effect of Iran-Saudi Arabia tensions within Pakistan. This event may represent the trigger for the deepening of the securitarian framework in regions like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, where Shia communities live. The deterioration of internal stability in the North-Western region may re-open clashes with the Afghan Taliban. Background Information On Friday, February 6, 2026, Pakistan witnessed a tremendous attack in a Shia mosque at the outskirts of the capital, Islamabad. An explosion provoked 169 casualties, according to officials. The Islamic State Pakistan Province, which belongs to the Islamic State Wilayat Khorasan (ISKP), claimed responsibility for the attack. On Saturday, however, the investigations saw some advancements, with official sources reporting the apprehension of four conspirators

Troye Sivan, the Australian pop artist, is best known for his song  ‘One Of Your Girls’, which went viral after for his iconic drag look and Ross Lynch’s cameo, hitting charts across the world in 2023. But, before there were trending sounds and TikTok videos, there was the pastel grunge moodiness of mid 2010’s tumblr – and Troye Sivan was one of the artists to spearhead it. Tumblr, a popular microblogging app, was a formative part of thousands of Gen Z’s teenage years. It was a place of community, where people all over the world connected over a specific aesthetic – ripped fishnet tights, messy space buns, choker necklaces, and pastel anything.
