Four civilians and a Central Reserved Police Force trooper were injured after terrorists lobbed a grenade on the paramilitary party at Pakharpora in central Kashmir on Tuesday (5 May).
CRPF spokesman in Srinagar Pankaj Singh told IANS that terrorists threw the grenade at the CRPF party in Budgam district. This is the second grenade attack in the district in less than 24 hours. On Monday (4 May), a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel suffered minor injuries after terrorists lobbed a grenade at a power grid at Wagoora.
On Monday again, three CRPF men and a civilian were killed after terrorists attacked a CRPF party at Handwara in North Kashmir.
The series of grenade attacks come days after an army colonel, a major, two soldiers and a police sub-inspector besides two terrorists were killed in an encounter in Handwara.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
