There has been a spurt in grenade attacks by militants in Kashmir in the last two years in which dozens of civilians and security forces personnel have been injured.

A senior police officer involved in counter-insurgency operations said militants are targeting security forces just to create an impression that they were present and militancy is alive in the Valley.
