In the first grenade explosion of 2008, six persons including three paramilitary soldiers were wounded in north Kashmir Bandipore town, late Wednesday afternoon.

The police said militants tossed a grenade at a Border Security Force bunker in the main Bandipore town.

"All the injured were taken to hospital for treatment. Two have been referred to Srinagar for specialised treatment. The area was searched," a spokesperson said.

Recently, the Hizbul Mujaheedin and the Lashkar-e-Tayiba had condemned the grenade attacks at crowded places in separate statements.
