Srinagar: Militants launched a grenade attack on a security forces camp in a stadium
in Srinagar injuring eight Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel on December
8 evening, official sources said.
Ultras fired four rifle grenades in quick succession at the CRPF camp in the Bakshi
stadium around 18:00 hours (IST), which exploded with big bang injuring eight CRPF
personnel including three sub-inspectors, they said.
Condition of two sub-inspectors and a head constable was serious, the sources
said.
CRPF personnel retaliated the fire and intermittent gunshots could still be heard in
the area, they said.
No militant outfit has, so far, claimed responsibility for the attack hours before
the four-day unilateral truce announced by the Lashker-e-Toiba for the Id-ul-Fitr
was to expire, they added.
