SRINAGAR, India, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Eleven people, including four soldiers, were wounded on Saturday when suspected militants detonated a car bomb in Indian Kashmir's main city, police said.

No militant group claimed responsibility for the explosion which took place in Hyderpora, a residential area in Srinagar, Kashmir's summer capital.

"The powerful explosion shook the whole area and we have launched a search operation," said Mohamad Amin, a senior police official.

Earlier on Saturday, police defused another bomb in the same area.

Officials say more than 42,000 people have been killed in violence in the Muslim-majority region since 1989 in a separatist revolt against Indian rule. Human rights groups put the toll at around 60,000 dead or missing.
