Explosions injure more than thirty in Kashmir

More than thirty people have been injured, four seriously, in a series of explosions in Indian-administered Kashmir.

In one incident, a grenade exploded at Ashmuqamin the southern Anantnag district as people were leaving a mosque after attending Friday prayers.

Police blamed an activist of the pro-India militant group, the Jammu Kashmir Ikhwan, for the attack.

Two other grenade explosions followed shortly in the Civil Lines area ofSrinagar, injuring more than ten other people.
