The 2011 Mumbai bombings, also known as 13/7, were a series of coordinated bomb explosions at different locations in Mumbai, India, on July 13, 2011. Thirteen years ago, three powerful bomb blasts struck the financial capital city during the evening rush hour.
1. The first explosion at 6.54 pm was in the crowded, bustling Zaveri bazaar, a British-era market packed with hundreds of gold and jewellery shops. The second, a minute later, was at the Opera House, which has become a major hub for India`s prosperous diamond exporters. The third blast at 7.05 pm hit the central Mumbai neighbourhood of Dadar at the Kabutar Khana (Pigeon House) junction, where businessmen on their way to the railway station often stop to feed grains.
