The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, was damaged by the first blast that happened on 7 May 2023, and by the second blast that happened on 8 May 2023. At midnight on 10 May 2023 a third blast occurred.[1] The explosions were triggered by low-grade explosives without detonators, despite the police's initial claim that they could have been unintentional.[2]
