"The first explosion took place outside the Border Security Force's complex in Jalandhar at about 8 p.m. A security camera captured the incident and the resultant cloud of smoke, while a man ran for cover. The blast ripped a scooter apart, damaged nearby shops, and a traffic signal."
"The Times of India, citing a senior Punjab Police officer, said the Khalistan Liberation Army (KLA) had taken responsibility for the Jalandhar blast. The KLA is an armed separatist outfit active in Punjab, with alleged supporters abroad including Canada and Pakistan."
"Just hours after the Jalandhar incident, authorities in the city of Amritsar reported a loud noise outside an army camp. Fragments resembling a sheet of metal were found embedded in the boundary wall at the site of the explosion."
