Annatnag, Aug 22 (GNS): Two civilians were injured when militants made an abortive bid to target a paramilitary CRPF bunker at Sangam Chowk Bijbehara in south Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
A CRPF official told GNS that initial reports suggest that two persons on motorcycle threw the grenade but it exploded short of their purported target—bunker manned by personnel of 136 battalion CRPF, causing minor splinter injuries to two civilians. Both the civilians identified as Amir Ahmad Lone son of Mohammad Abdullah and Shakeel Ahmad Lone son of Nazir Ahmad, residents of Natipora Sangam, were shifted to Sub District Hospital Bijbhera. Both of them have suffered minor injuries, a police officer said.
Soon after the attack the whole area was cordoned off to nab the attackers, the officer said. However, when this report was filed no arrests were made. (GNS)
