The blast comes weeks after the February bombing, which was the deadliest attack on Indian forces in a 30-year insurgency.
JAMMU - One person was killed and 17 were injured when a grenade exploded at a bus terminal in India’s restive state of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.
One of the injured later died during treatment at the hospital, an officer at the regional police headquarters told AFP. The blast comes weeks after the February bombing, which was the deadliest attack on Indian forces in a 30-year insurgency by militants seeking either independence for Kashmir or a merger with Pakistan. Tens of thousands have died in the violence.
In response, New Delhi said it carried out air strikes on 26 February, targeting what it called a JeM training camp in Balakot, Pakistan, and killing “a very large number of JeM” militants who were planning more attacks in India. As fears rose that the two nuclear-armed nations might enter their fourth war, Pakistan released the pilot in what it called a “gesture of peace”.
