Terrorists reportedly targeted roadside vendors as shops remain closed due to restrictions imposed in the Valley.

The attack comes a week after 15 civilians were injured in a similar attack by terrorists in Kashmir’s Sopore town. Civilians who had been waiting at a bus stand were targeted.

In yet another terror attack on October 26, six security personnel were injured when terrorists threw a grenade at a CRPF team that was inspecting vehicles at a checkpost.
