"Six people have been injured in the explosion but all of them are out of danger. The explosion has probably been caused by a grenade left in the area after a recent encounter," Senior Superintendent of Police for Pulwama Amit Kumar told PTI.

Two militants, including a Jaish-e-Mohammad commander, were killed in a 20-hour gunbattle which also left an army officer injured in Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir last week.
