At least a dozen people have been injured after terrorists threw a grenade at a Sunday market in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar. Those injured in the explosion have been rushed to hospital. More details are awaited.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the grenade attack as “deeply disturbing” and said there can be no justification for targeting civilians. “The last few days have been dominated by headlines of attacks and encounters in parts of the valley. Today’s news of a grenade attack on innocent shoppers at the ‘Sunday market’ in Srinagar is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for targeting innocent civilians. The security apparatus must do everything possible to end this spurt of attacks at the earliest so that people can go about their lives without any fear,” Mr Abdullah said in a post on X.
