Two newspaper workers were wounded in a grenade attack on their office on Monday in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian occupied Kashmir, police said. Officials said the two non-journalist staff of Urdu-language daily Tamil-e-Irshad were working on Tuesday's edition when unidentified attackers hurled a grenade into their office late on Monday.
"The grenade exploded in the main office room injuring the two employees," a police spokesman said, adding both were shifted to Srinagar's largest hospital. One of Kashmir's news agencies, Kashmir Press Service, also operates from the same office. More than a dozen journalists have died covering the 15-year-old insurgency against Indian rule in the region. The unrest has so far left 40,000 people dead by official count.
