An explosion ripped through a police station in Srinagar in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir 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.
