One person was killed and 33 others were wounded in a grenade blast inside a busy bus station in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Thursday.
The blast took place at the main bus station in Jammu city, the winter capital of Kashmir.
The grenade was thrown beneath an empty bus parked at the station and triggered panic as soon as it went off, according to local police.
