Srinagar: In yet another grenade attack, militants today (November 1) targeted a security vehicle on Srinagar-Gulmarg highway in Central Kashmir's Budgam district, injuring at least four persons, official sources said.

Ultras lobbed a handgrenade towards a passing security vehicle at Narabal chowk which missed the intended target and exploded on the roadside at around 16:10 hours (IST), they said.

Four persons were injured and several vehicles damaged in the blast, the sources said.

This is the eighth grenade attack in the Valley since the commencement of the Muslim fasting month of Ramzan on Tuesday (October 29). Two persons were killed and scores of others injured in the seven grenade blasts earlier.

Although no militant outfit has claimed responsibility for today's attack, Lashker-e-Toiba had threatened to step up the attacks on security forces during the month of Ramzan.
