Grenade blast near Army camp

GUWAHATI: The insurgent outfit ULFA hurled a hand grenade which exploded at an army camp after which army personnel opened fire at Borhat in Assam’s Sibsagar district on Saturday.

No one was injured in the grenade explosion and the subsequent firing, police said.

The explosive, which was apparently hurled at a nearby primary health dispensary around 6.45 pm, instead fell near the army camp, police said.

The army men in the camp along the boundary with Arunachal Pradesh immediately retaliated by firing for several minutes, Army sources said. The area was cordoned off.
