NEW DELHI Nov. 16 — The police in Indian-administered Kashmir say a number of people have been wounded in a massive explosion in the summer capital, Srinagar.
“It looked like a car bomb. The earth shook,” Deen Dayal, an eyewitness told Reuters news agency.
The explosion occurred near the headquarters of a bank in the central business district of the city.
The blast came a day after a gun battle between security forces and militants in Srinagar which killed five people.
“The explosion was massive and there are a large number of casualties. I saw a lot of injured people on the road crying. I don’t know about the fatalities,” Nazir Ahmed, a bank manager told Associated Press.
