Six policemen were hurt Sunday when suspected militants attacked their patrol with a grenade in Occupied Srinagar, a police spokesman said. It was the third assault in ten days on police in Occupied Srinagar. Two policemen were killed in the previous two attacks.
Sunday's attack took place near a police station in the centre of Occupied Srinagar, the spokesman said. "The condition of one of the injured is critical," he said, adding a manhunt has been launched to "arrest or eliminate" the attackers. Indian held Kashmir has witnessed a recent spike in violence after several months of relative calm.
In January, two gunmen threw grenades and opened fire in Occupied Srinagar's main market area before holing up in a guesthouse where they held off commandos for nearly 24 hours before being shot dead. Further violent incidents have taken place since.
