Pulwama: As many as nine Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured in a grenade attack on its camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Tral on Tuesday.
Out of the nine personnel, three are in critical condition, while six have suffered minor injuries.
The camp was housed by troops of the 180th battalion of CRPF at Ladiyar village of Tral, 35 kms from here, a police official said.
He said the grenade exploded inside the camp, causing splinter injuries to three jawans.
They were taken to a hospital and the area around the camp was cordoned off to nab the unidentified militants, the official said.
This was the second grenade attack in Tral within two days and third such incident in the valley since Sunday.
