Earlier today, a blast occurred during a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in Kalamassery, located in Kerala's Ernakulam district. The explosion, which claimed one life and injured 37 others, was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) concealed within a tiffin box, according to initial reports. The incident unfolded at 9:40 am within a church that had approximately 2,500 people in attendance. Notably, this event occurred shortly after former Hamas leader Khaled Mashal delivered a virtual address to a gathering in Malappuram, northern Kerala, where he urged activists from Jamait-e-Islami to take action against those who do not share their beliefs.
