One killed, 17 injured in grenade attack in Indian Kashmir

One person was killed and 17 were injured when a grenade exploded at a bus terminal in India's restive state of Jammu and Kashmir, police said. The blast in the city of Jammu comes amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions after 40 Indian troops were killed on February 14 in the part of Kashmir that New Delhi controls, sparking the biggest standoff between the nuclear-armed neighbours in years. Jammu police chief M.K. Sinha told reporters that the grenade was lobbed at the bus stand, and the explosion left "approximately 18" people injured.
