At least nine people were injured when an attacker threw a grenade into a marketplace bustling with shoppers in the main city of Indian-controlled Kashmir on Sunday, police said.

The attack came a day after a suspected militant was killed in a day-long gun battle in Srinagar, a rare occurrence in the city where security is tight.
