Kashmir attack 'kills tourists'
Kashmir attack 'kills tourists'

At least five Indian tourists have been killed in Indian-administered Kashmir after the vehicle they were travelling in was attacked, police say.
Suspected militants are said to have hurled a grenade at the vehicle in the state's summer capital, Srinagar.

Separately, one person has been injured in a second attack in Srinagar.

This is the fourth such attack in Srinagar this year. It comes amid a busy tourist season which has seen a revival after years of violence.

The tourists were from the Indian state of West Bengal.

"I saw a huge orange flash coming out of the bus with a loud explosion," Shabir Ahmad, a shopkeeper who witnessed the attack, told Reuters.

One report says three of those killed were women.

The second attack took place in the city's Regal Square - a busy market area in the heart of Srinagar.

It is not yet clear who has carried out the attacks.

In May, more than 30 Indian tourists were injured in a grenade attack on a passenger bus travelling from Srinagar to the resort town of Gulmarg.

Four tourists, including a woman and a child, were killed in a similar attack just days earlier.
