One person killed and at least 35 were injured in a grenade attack in Srinagar, officials said, in the bloodiest incident since article 370 was revoked. Police said the incident took place in a market in Maulana Azad Road.
The injured, including three paramilitary police, have been admitted to one of three hospitals after the blast on Hari Singh High Street in the centre of the city, said the officials. One person is in a critical condition, they said.
Earlier VK Birdi, one of Srinagar’s top police officials, said in a statement one person had died and at least 14 were injured.
Monday’s attack came when markets were open and traffic was moving normally in the civil lines area of the Srinagar city.
The attack comes a week after another grenade attack in north Kashmir’s Sopore. On October 28, nineteen people were injured when terrorists hurled a grenade in north Kashmir’s Sopore town.
