A suspected low-intensity blast occurred on September 10, 2025, in the Dumri-Thukar Mohalla area near Jamai Masjid in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda district, causing panic among residents. Police and forensic teams swiftly reached the site, confirming no injuries from the explosion. The police detained two individuals for questioning as the investigation continues.

Authorities have imposed prohibitory orders and maintained strong security presence, including restrictions on public gatherings and suspension of internet services, to control the situation. The police’s quick response to the blast and ongoing crackdown on unrest reflect the administration’s determination to restore peace in the troubled region.
