At least seven people were killed and 27 injured when a large pile of confiscated explosives in a police station in India’s Kashmir detonated late on Friday, broadcaster NDTV reported. Most of those killed are policemen and forensic team officials who were examining the explosives stored at the police station, the report said. The death toll could climb further, with five of the injured still in critical condition, NDTV said. Earlier, a local police official told Reuters that an explosion had ripped through Nowgam police station. The blast comes four days after a deadly car explosion in Delhi, which killed at least eight people in what India has called a terror incident.
