They hurled a grenade on a security patrol outside the heavily guarded complex in Anantnag town, 55 km from here, around 11 am, the official said.

He said the grenade missed the intended target and exploded on the roadside, causing splinter injuries to eight pedestrians who were evacuated to the hospital.

The attack sparked panic among people in the town. The area has been cordoned off by security forces and a hunt has been launched to nab the terrorists behind the attack, the official said. No outfit has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

On Friday, the Army and police personnel launched a joint search operation in border areas of Poonch district and recovered 17 hand grenades, a senior police officer said.
