Security forces had defused an improvised explosive device (IED) in Pulwama on Sunday.

The IED was found in a bucket on Pulwama-Sirnoo road in south Kashmir. A bomb disposal squad managed to defuse it in time, the official said.

The attacks took place amid heightened security in the Valley, including in parts of Pulwama district, as separatists observed the second death anniversary of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8.
