SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, June 13 (Xinhua) -- At least two paramilitary troopers were wounded in a grenade attack in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said Tuesday.
The attack was carried out by suspected militants on Monday night in Tral town of Pulwama district, about 41 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
"Last night militants fired a grenade from an under barrel grenade launcher (UBGL) on the paramilitary camp of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) located at the main town in Tral," a police official told Xinhua. "The grenade explosion wounded two CRPF personnel."
The wounded personnel were immediately rushed to nearest medical facility. "Both the wounded CRPF men are stable," the official said.
Though government forces immediately launched a massive hunt to nab the militants responsible for the attack, no one was arrested. Reports said militants escaped from the spot following the attack.
Militant groups opposing New Delhi's rule are engaged in a guerilla war with Indian troops in the region since 1989. Gunfight between the two sides takes place intermittently.
