Witnesses have recounted the moment blasts were heard in Srinagar, India-controlled Kashmir’s largest city, on Saturday morning.
Explosions were reported in India-administered Kashmir, including Srinagar, the region’s largest city, and the city of Jammu, on Saturday morning. The cause of the blasts was not immediately clear.
Local residents living near the city’s airport told CNN they heard multiple blasts in their vicinity. A Reuters witness reported that the explosions were heard near the city’s airport and the local army headquarters.
“I heard sounds of three blasts one after the other from the airport. This happened around noon. I was at my home with family when we heard all this and were caught off guard,” 28-year-old Rafique Ahmed, who lives close to the airport, told CNN.
Ahmed continued, “Earlier in the morning, I had heard around 5:45 am there were sounds of blasts as well. There were sirens that followed these explosions.”
“We are staying inside our house to be safe. Let’s see what happens.”
Another witness, Madeeha, who lives just over a mile from the airport, said, “I heard these blasting sounds early morning around 5:45 am first and then around noon as well around.”
Madeeha continued, “We all got frightened this morning. We rushed down to the ground floor to stay there. Based on our own experience we know that we need to rush to the lower floors for security reasons, as the higher floors are more likely to get hit.”
