After a lull of several months, Srinagar was rocked by a massive explosion in which at least 17 persons were injured, one of them critically.
The police said militants carried out the powerful explosion on the city's only flyover in Jahangir Chowk, adjacent to city centre Lal Chowk on Wednesday evening.
The explosion in the high security area shattered the concrete of the fly-over, sending splinters all around. A portion of the flyover has been massively damaged.
