The powerful IED explosion ripped through the Sopore market area, which was immediately cordoned off, police said. Separatists had called for a protest shutdown and a march in the town on Saturday.
The injured were shifted to hospital. A search operation is underway, a police officer said.
Heavy deployment of security forces was already in place to maintain law and order situation in the wake of separatist-called protest shutdown in Sopore.
