SRINAGAR, India, March 7 (Reuters) - Separatist militants lobbed a grenade at a house in southern Kashmir killing three members of a family, police said on Friday, the second such attack this week.

The house in Reasi district belonged to a member of a government-backed vigilante group set up to help soldiers fight militants, a police officer said. Five people were wounded in Thursday's attack.

Violence has declined in the Himalayan state since both India and Pakistan, who claim Kashmir in full but rule in parts, initiated a slow moving peace process in 2004, officials said.

But people still get killed in almost daily fighting between militants and soldiers.

Two members of a family were killed in a similar attack in another remote village this week, officials said. (Reporting by Sheikh Mushtaq; Editing by Bappa Majumdar and Sanjeev Miglani)
