An explosion ripped through a police station in Srinagar city in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) region late on Friday, a local police official said.
A fire engulfed the Nowgam police station compound, and fire tenders have been rushed to the spot, the official said, adding that casualties were feared.
Indian media also reported a blast at the police station, with visuals of a raging fire.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear. It comes four days after a deadly car explosion in Delhi, India’s capital, that the government said was a terror incident.
