Jammu and Kashmir: 10 injured in grenade blast in Srinagar, Omar Abdullah calls it 'deeply disturbing'

At least 10 people were injured after a grenade blast occurred in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar city on Sunday, media reports said.

The blast occurred close to the Tourist Reception Centre in Srinagar.

The blast occurred at a time when the spot was bursting with public.

Security forces have rushed to the spot.

The injured were shifted to hospital for treatment.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah described the incident as 'deeply disturbing'.

"The last few days have been dominated by headlines of attacks & encounters in parts of the valley. Today’s news of a grenade attack on innocent shoppers at the ‘Sunday market’ in Srinagar is deeply disturbing. There can be no justification for targeting innocent civilians. The security apparatus must do everything possible to end this spurt of attacks at the earliest so that people can go about their lives without any fear," the CM said.

The attack occurred amid recent encounters which took place in the region.
