Among the seven killed was a doctor, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported on Monday, adding several others were wounded. The attack on Sunday is one of the worst this year targeting civilians. The contested territory’s chief minister, Omar Abdullah, called the attack late Sunday “dastardly and cowardly”, while India’s interior minister Amit Shah vowed those responsible would face the “harshest” response.
