At least 14 persons, including a traffic policeman, were injured in a grenade attack by terrorists outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Anantnag township of south Kashmir on Saturday, a police official said.

This was the second grenade attack in the valley since the abrogation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status on August 5.

The terrorists hurled a grenade on a security patrol outside the heavily guarded DC office complex in Anantnag town, 55 km from here, around 11 am, the official said.

He said the grenade missed the intended target and exploded on the roadside, causing splinter injuries to 14 persons, including a traffic policeman and a local journalist.
