Nine people were killed and dozens were injured late Friday when confiscated explosives detonated at an Indian police station in the troubled region of Kashmir while under analysis.

Nalin Prabhat, Kashmir’s police director-general, said on Saturday that the explosives detonated during examination by police and forensic experts in a “very unfortunate” accident at Nowgam police station. He definitively ruled out any foul play, saying it was an accident and that “any other speculation into the cause of this incident is unnecessary.”
