SRINAGAR: An explosion outside a mosque prayer hall early Thursday wounded nine worshippers in the Indian occupied Kashmir.

The blast occurred after the early morning prayer in Trenz, a village 60 kilometers (40 miles) south of Srinagar, the main city in Indian-held Kashmir, said police officer Syed Javaid Mujtaba Gillani.

Abdul Gani Dar, a wounded 75-year-old, said a tumbler lying in the mosque complex blew up with a deafening sound as a caretaker picked it up while people were leaving the area.
