ISLAMABAD, 07 February 2026 - “UNICEF strongly condemns the devastating attack at a place of worship in Islamabad yesterday, that reportedly claimed the lives of six children. The killing of children is unconscionable and constitutes a grave violation of their rights.

“We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the communities affected.

“No child should ever be a target, nor exposed to violence. Children must be protected at all times.”
