A militant group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, said the woman was a suicide bomber who blew up an army vehicle, killing or injuring six Indian soldiers in the first such attack by the group. âThe woman, Hafsa, was from our womenâs wing,â a Jaish spokesman told local news agency Current News Service.However police said the woman was travelling to a major highway connecting Srinagar to the city of Jammu to plant the improvised explosive device when it exploded. âThere were no other casualties,â at the site in Awantipora, 30 kilometres south of Srinagar, the spokesman said, adding that no army vehicle was travelling past the site of the blast, 20 metres short of the highway. Militants use women members for transporting arms and explosives in Kashmir, but have never used them as suicide bombers.
