SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Three paramilitary troopers and a civilian were wounded Saturday after militants launched a grenade attack in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.
The grenade was hurled at a contingent of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) at Fateh Kadal locality in the old part of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Militants this evening hurled a grenade towards our contingent in old city, which wounded three of our men," spokesperson of CRPF Sanjay Sharma told Xinhua. "The wounded personnel were immediately removed to hospital."
Reports said a civilian was also wounded in the blast.
Soon after the attack, police contingents rushed to the spot and launched a manhunt to nab the attackers.
So far, no militant outfit has claimed responsibility of the attack.
On Friday, four CRPF personnel, a policeman and a civilian were wounded in a similar grenade attack in southern Anantnag district.
Meanwhile, situation in Srinagar was tense throughout the day as hundreds of mourners participated in the funeral procession of a youth who was run over by a paramilitary vehicle on Friday during clashes.
Police fired dozens of tear gas shells to disperse the mourners.
