SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- At least four policemen and two civilians were wounded Friday in a grenade blast in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, police said.

The grenade blast took place in Pulwama town, about 28 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.

"Militants today hurled a grenade towards a police party near a revenue department office, which exploded with a bang resulting in wounding four policemen and two civilians," a police officer posted in Pulwama told Xinhua. "The wounded were immediately rushed to hospital for treatment."

Soon after the attack, police and paramilitary forces rushed to the spot and launched a manhunt to nab the attackers.

The blast also shattered windshields of several cars parked in the area. So far, no militant outfit has claimed responsibility of the attacks.
