One jawan injured in grenade attack in Sopore

Srinagar: A jawan was injured in a grenade attack today on a CRPF picket in Sopore township of north Kashmir's Baramulla district.

"The militants hurled a grenade at CRPF picket near Sopore bus stand, but there was no damage in the incident," SP (Sopore) Imtiyaz Hussain said.

The grenade missed the intended target and exploded on the road, Mr Hussain added.

Official sources said the explosion caused panic among the passersby who ran for their safety.

The area has been cordoned off and a hunt has been launched to nab the militants. No militant outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
