Suspected militants lobbed a grenade at Khanyar Police Station in Srinagar, injuring a civilian and four policemen, ANI reported on Sunday evening. Another report, however, pegged the number of injured policemen at three.

The injured civilian has been identified as Ghulam Mohammad Khan, a resident of Illahi Bagh in Srinagar. He has been shifted to a hospital.

Another civilian had died in a clash with police last Thursday, hours after an Army captain and two soldiers had been killed by militants who stormed a garrison in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara. The personnel had opened fire on a group of protestors who were seeking the bodies of two militants who had died in the encounter. On the same day, the Centre said it would form an all-woman police battalion in Jammu and Kashmir to tackle stone-pelters. Female students have increasingly been at the forefront of clashes with security forces in the restive state.
