One killed and 13 injured in grenade attack in Srinagar

Srinagar: Terrorists lobbed a grenade in a busy market in the heart of the city, killing one person on Monday, almost three months since the Kashmir Valley shut down in response to the Centre revoking the special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, police said.

At least 13 people were injured in the grenade attack, the second in less than a month, and were rushed to the nearby SMHS hospital where the condition of two is critical, officials said.

The attack took place at 1.20 pm, a time the Hari Singh High Street market was crowded with people and roadside vendors.
