SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Sept. 7 -- At least one person was killed and 14 others were wounded Thursday in a grenade blast in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.

The blast took place in the evening at Jehangir Chowk in Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

"One person was brought dead and over 12 others were brought in wounded condition here this evening," Dr. Nazir Choudhary, superintendent of SMHS hospital told Xinhua. "The wounded are being provided medical aid."

The blast triggered panic as people were seen fleeing away from the spot.

So far, no militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack.
