Srinagar/ 11 October 2016. Two CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force) jawans and at least six civilians have been injured after unidentified persons hurled a grenade at a CRPF convoy in the Shopian district on Tuesday, reports say.

The attack occurred when the CRPF convoy was patrolling in the area which is already under heightened security, with Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) building under attack by terrorists almost 50 kilometres away in Pampore.

Meanwhile, security forces launched a fresh offensive this morning to flush out the terrorists who are holed up inside the building since yesterday.

The area around the EDI premises has been cordoned off and exchange of firing is going on.
