Srinagar: A series of grenade attacks by terrorists in Srinagar killed at least eight people and wounded at least 32 on Tuesday.

In the first incident, terrorists lobbed a grenade into a minibus carrying tourists through Srinagar, killing five and wounding 14, said a senior police officer, Farooq Ahmad.

Among the dead were four women, he said. Three of the injured were in critical condition at hospitals in the city.

Blood stained the streets at the scene of the attack, which took place around noon, and shards of shattered glass and the debris of small, colourful souvenirs shattered by the explosion were scattered throughout the area.

"Someone threw a grenade on a Tempo Traveller with tourists from Bengal. This is a continuous low-intensity war; we are investigating the matter and we will nab them soon," said the Inspector General of CRPF.

Minutes later, another grenade explosion shook the busy Residency Road.

A grenade was lobbed at a Maruti car bearing a Haryana registration number. At least two people were injured in the incident.

There was heavy police deployment at the Residency Road, as a minister was to inaugurate a showroom. Police ruled out the possibility of the two attacks being related.

"One was at Dal Gate and the other is in a commercial hub. I don't think the two are related. The law and order situation in the state is under control," said Inspector General of Srinagar, S N Sahai.
