KARACHI: A grenade attack in Karachi's Bolton Market on MA Jinnah Road on Saturday left three people injured.

Two motorcyclists attacked a shop in Bolton Market with a grenade which exploded with a loud blast. The three injured people were moved to Civil Hospital with the help of people in the vicinity.

Fear gripped the locality and surrounding shops were shut down as police collected evidence from the scene of the incident and started investigation.

Last month, a school in North Nazimabad also came under a grenade attack when unknown motorcyclists hurled a hand grenade at the school near KDA roundabout.
