At least one person was killed and 17 wounded Monday in a grenade blast at a crowded market in Occupied Srinagar, police and doctors said. No one claimed Monday's blast but authorities have in the past accused fighters of intimidating people into resisting Indian attempts to return life to normal.
Doctors at the main hospital told AFP that the deceased was a resident of northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
"Two people are critical," a doctor said on condition of anonymity.
Occupied Srinagar police chief Haseeb Mughal told AFP that 18 people were injured out of whom one died at the hospital.
Markets, schools and public areas remain closed with government forces still patrolling the streets, with periodic security lockdowns imposed on many parts of the region.
