Five victims are in critical condition.

The explosion occurred while checking the confiscated explosives. Senior officers arrived at the scene, the area is cordoned off, and an investigation is underway into the circumstances of the explosion.

It is noted that the Novgam police station had previously identified a network associated with the terrorist organization Jaish-i-Mohammed, which led to the discovery of a powerful explosive and the arrest of several individuals. Investigators believe that the nature of the explosion indicates that the suspects may have improperly assembled an improvised explosive device, which led to an accidental detonation.
