Three civilians are critical and many others injured after the grenade exploded outside on a busy road.
At least seven civilians were injured in a grenade attack by militants on a police station in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district on Tuesday, 18 June, officials said, according to PTI.
The militants lobbed the grenade towards the police station, but it exploded on the roadside, causing injuries to seven people, the officials said.
The security forces have cordoned off the area to look for the attackers and the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital, the officials added.
The attack comes a day after an army vehicle was targeted with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the district, in which two soldiers died and 16 others were injured near Arihal village in Pulwama.
