High on the heels of consecutive bomb explosions, a grenade was hurled at security forces in the Eidgah area of Srinagar on Sunday. The terrorist missed the target, but a civilian was injured in the attack.
The grenade attack took place at 8:05 p.m. when terrorists hurled the grenade at the joint party of police and CRPF in the Saidpora Eidgah area. The grenade exploded roadside but didn't cause any loss of life. A tiny splinter, however, injured 42-year-old Ajaz Ahmed Deva.
The victim was rushed to the nearby hospital, where he was given immediate treatment. His condition is stable.
The grenade attack comes a day after the three back-to-back bomb blasts that rocked Jammu on Saturday. Mukesh Singh, ADGP (Jammu Zone) said six people were injured in two blasts that occurred in two vehicles in Narwal area of Jammu city.
