Massive blasts in Srinagar, 6 killed

The land mines were planted by suspected terrorists in the Jawahar Nagar district of Srinagar, Hari Lal, an officer of the Central Reserve Police Force said.

The nearly simultaneous blasts left three soldiers and three civilians dead, Lal said. An additional 30 civilians and 10 soldiers were wounded in the explosions, which also damaged several vehicles, he said.

The injured have been taken to local hospitals, Lal said. No one claimed responsibility for the explosions.

Reporters in Srinagar say a militant group Al-Nasirin has said it carried out the attack.

The group has warned of more such attacks in future.
