Terrorists lobbed a grenade at a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) bunker near a crowded flea market in the heart of the city here on Sunday, injuring at least 11 civilians, officials said. The attack, which took place near a heavily guarded complex housing All India Radio and Doordarshan Kendra near the Tourist Reception Centre (TRC), comes a day after security forces eliminated a top Pakistani commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in the Khanyar locality of downtown Srinagar.

A senior police officer said the terrorists hurled the grenade at the CRPF bunker near the TRC. "However, the grenade missed the intended target and landed on the roadside, injuring 11 people," the officer said.
