The explosion destroyed the entire area on one side of the post. Vehicles parked in the parking lot were also burnt. According to Indian media, 10 people, including a police inspector, were killed in the explosion.
It is said that 50 people, including a DSP-rank officer and a tehsildar, were present at the post when the explosion occurred. According to the police, 27 people were injured. Of these, 24 were policemen. Five of the injured have been admitted to the Army Base Hospital. The rest have been admitted to other hospitals in Srinagar.
