SRINAGAR, Nov 24: At least 10 people were killed and 32 wounded on Saturday in explosions and shootouts in occupied Kashmir, police said.

A grenade attack in a crowded market in Srinagar killed one civilian and wounded 23 others, police said.

They said the Mujahideen hurled the grenade at a paramilitary patrol vehicle at Srinagar’s Budshah Chowk barely 200 metres from the held state’s assembly building, where a suicide bomb attack killed 38 people on Oct 1.

“The grenade missed the target and exploded on the road injuring nearly two dozen civilians, many of them seriously,” a police official said.

The injured were admitted to hospitals, he said. “One of the injured later died in hospital.”

Earlier on Saturday, one civilian was killed and two others were injured in another grenade attack at Manjkote area of Doda district southeast of Srinagar, police said.

Elsewhere, six Mujahideen and two civilians were killed in separate gunbattles across the held Valley, police said. They said seven people, including four soldiers, were wounded in these incidents.—Reuters
