One person was killed and 33 others, including two paramilitary personnel, were wounded when militants on Monday morning hurled a hand grenade at the sub-district hospital in Baramulla, 55km from Srinagar.

Abdul Rahim Sofi (50) died on the spot when the grenade exploded near the out patient department (OPD) inside the crowded hospital complex, a senior police officer said.

The target apparently was a party of paramilitary Border security force personnel who had come for treatment.

Doctors referred four critically injured persons to Srinagar for specialised treatment.
