After four people were shot, two children died in a bombing in Kashmir.

A day after gunmen shot at a row of homes in the same region, leaving at least four dead, an explosion in a village in Indian-administrated Kashmir left two children dead and five other civilians injured, according to police.

In the southern Rajouri district's Dhangri village, next to one of the houses that had been attacked overnight on Monday, there was a bomb.

The explosion occurs a day after four people were shot dead by alleged rebels, killing a five-year-old boy and a 12-year-old female.

According to officials, a five-year-old child and a 12-year-old girl perished in the explosion, while those who were hurt were being treated at a hospital.

According to police officer Mukesh Singh, two shooters in Dhangri opened fire on three homes on Sunday night. He said that five people, including four civilians, were injured.

The two attacks at Dhangri, which are near to the heavily guarded Line of Control that separates the disputed Himalayan area between India and Pakistan, were carried out by armed attackers, according to police.

Whether the device was left behind by the assailants who carried out the attack on Sunday night was unknown. Police and soldiers were dispatched quickly by the authorities, who were looking for the attackers.

All of the victims in the two instances were Hindus, and Dhangri is a village where Hindus predominate.

On Monday, hundreds of people gathered in Dhangri to condemn the killings while yelling anti-assailant chants.

They insisted that Manoj Sinha, the top official from New Delhi in the area, visit the village while keeping the victims' bodies in a line in the main plaza and refusing to cremate them.

In Jammu, a city in the south, over thirty people also demonstrated against the murders, which Sinha referred to as a "cowardly terror act."

“I assure the people that those behind this despicable attack will not go unpunished,” he said.

Later on Monday, Sinha visited the village and met the families of the victims.
