Srinagar, 12 August (KMW): The fortnightly Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus today came under attack from angry protesters at Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Road near Pattan, damaging the vehicle and injuring one guest from Pakistan-Administered Kashmir (PAK).

According to reports, as the bus was moving with some passengers to the other side of Kashmir from Srinagar to Muzaffarbad, it came under stone pelting from protesters near Pattan-Palhalan. Several window panes of the bus were smashed.
