Suspected separatist rebels lobbed a grenade at a crowded bus stop in Indian Kashmir today, wounding 12 people.
A police spokesman said the grenade was aimed at a police patrol but missed its target and exploded at the bus stop in Kulgam town, south of Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir. No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Separatist violence has not abated in the Himalayan region despite peace efforts by New Delhi and Islamabad who last month began a truce along a military control line dividing the Himalayan region between them.
The army ceasefire on the 460-mile Line of Control has held so far, but rebel groups have said they will not observe the truce.
Pakistan denies Indian allegations that it sponsors the 14-year-old revolt in Muslim-majority Kashmir that has killed at least 40,000. Separatists put the death toll at more than 80,000.
