Fifteen people were injured in a grenade blast triggered by alleged mujahideen in Indian occupied Kashmir while Indian occupation troops shot dead two mujahideen near the de facto border with Pakistan, officials said on Wednesday.
The grenade blast occurred at Bijbehara town, 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the Indian occupied Kashmir summer capital Srinagar, an occupation police spokesman said.
"Militants hurled a grenade at a security patrol which missed the target and exploded among the pedestrians in the busy town," he said. Three of the injured were in serious condition.
Meanwhile, Indian occupation troops late Tuesday shot dead two alleged mujahideen after they crossed into Indian occupied Kashmir from Azad Kashmir, occupation army spokesman Vijay Batra told AFP. He said the two were asked to surrender but they instead opened fire, wounding an Indian security officer.
"The fire was returned killing two infiltrators," Batra said, adding that the Machil area of northern Kupwara district where the clash occurred was then searched thoroughly in case other militants had also snuck across.
Last week some 15 people were killed and more than 100 injured in a car-bomb explosion outside a school in Pulwama town.
