Militants attacked the house of Jammu and Kashmir minister for works Ali Mohammad Sagar in Srinagar on Friday evening with grenades, the second such attack on a minister's house in the state in the past three days.
Sagar, a senior National Conference leader, was not at his ancestral house in downtown Srinagar at the time of the attack, official sources said in Srinagar on Saturday.
Pro-Pakistan Al-Umer-Mujahideen ultras hurled two grenades at the minister's residence at Nawab Bazar, which exploded outside the house with a big bang but caused no loss of life or damage to property, the sources said.
Jammu and Kashmir armed police personnel, deployed near the house, fired at the ultras forcing them to flee, the sources said.
On January 10, militants attacked the house of Jammu and Kashmir minister of state for home Mushtaq Ahmad Lone in Kupwara district seriously injuring two CRPF jawans.
