Srinagar, October 5: At least five persons were injured after suspected terrorists hurled a grenade outside the deputy commissioner’s building in Anantnag of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday morning.

This is the second attack on security forces in the Kashmir Valley since the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.

On September 28, terrorists had hurled a grenade at CRPF personnel in downtown Srinagar. They had, however, missed the target.

The grenade was hurled at CRPF’s 38 battalion personnel deployed on law and order duty in Nawa Kadal area.

On the same day, three terrorists were killed in an encounter with the Army in Batote area along the Jammu-Kishtwar highway. An Army jawan was also killed in the exchange of fire.

More details awaited
