On Saturday, a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel was injured when terrorists threw a grenade at security forces in Srinagar’s Eidgah locality of Jammu and Kashmir.

“One grenade was lobbed by terrorist(s) towards security forces on Ali Jan road, Eidgah. This caused minor splinter injuries to one CRPF personnel,” the Srinagar police tweeted.

The grenade attacks came days after the Indian Army foiled a suicide attack on an Indian Army base in Jammu and Kashmir in which two terrorists and three Army personnel were killed in action.

Subedar Rajendra Prasad, Rifleman Manoj Kumar and Rifleman Lakshmanan D were the soldiers who were killed during the encounter on Thursday morning.
