An explosion has ripped through a police station in Srinagar city in India's Kashmir, a local police official says. 

A fire engulfed the Nowgam police station compound and fire tenders have been rushed to the spot, the official said, adding that casualties were feared.

Indian media on Friday also reported a blast at the police station, with visuals of a raging fire. 

The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear. 

It comes four days after a deadly car explosion in Delhi, India's capital, that the government said was a terror incident.
