The blast occurred near one of the houses targeted overnight in Dhangri village in the southern Rajouri district. Dhangri is a Hindu-majority village and all the victims were Hindus. Nearly three dozen people in the southern city of Jammu also protested the killings that Sinha condemned as a "cowardly terror attack." Later on Monday, Sinha visited the village and met the victims' families. Rebels in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir have been fighting New Delhi's rule since 1989.
