Nine people were killed in an explosion at the Nowgam police station on the outskirts of Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar late Friday, i.e., November 14. According to the authorities, the incident was accidental but was linked to a recent big explosives recovery by agencies in a terror module crackdown in Haryana's Faridabad.

Among the nine killed were a special investigation team (SIA) personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, three members of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), two revenue officials, among others. The blast occurred while the forensic experts present at the site were collecting samples from a cache of explosives recovered from Faridabad, according to Jammu and Kashmir Police chief Nalin Prabhat.
