ISLAMABAD, October 9, 2026: A fire broke out at a restaurant in Islamabad’s F-10 sector on Friday, prompting an emergency response from rescue services. Authorities confirmed that the blaze had been brought under control and that no loss of life had been reported.

According to rescue officials, emergency response teams reached the restaurant following reports of the incident and initiated firefighting operations to contain the flames.

The responding personnel successfully extinguished the fire, preventing the situation from continuing to escalate.

Cooling Operations Underway

Rescue authorities confirmed that no fatalities had been reported in the incident, while cooling operations remained underway at the affected premises.

Separately, the Capital Development Authority has recently intensified enforcement of fire and life safety requirements across the federal capital.

Further information regarding the F-10 restaurant incident is awaited from the relevant authorities.
