Nine suspected militants and three Indian soldiers were killed in a pair of gunbattles in disputed Kashmir, according to an Indian army official. Indian soldiers killed five suspected militants along the highly militarised de facto front line in Keran sector on Sunday as an armed group of militants infiltrated from the Pakistani side of Kashmir into the Indian-controlled part, said Col. Rajesh Kalia, an Indian army spokesman.
Kalia said three soldiers were also killed. He did not specify the number of injured, saying only that some others who were injured were undergoing treatment.The other gunbattle broke out in a neighbourhood in southern Kulgam town as police and soldiers scoured the area looking for militants on Saturday, Kalia said. He said that as troops began conducting searches, they came under heavy gunfire, leading to a clash that killed four militants.
Rebel groups have been fighting since 1989 for Kashmir’s independence or merger with neighbouring Pakistan. India has accused Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, which Pakistan denies and says it only provides moral support to Kashmiris' right to self-determination.Anti-India sentiment runs deep among the region’s mostly Muslim population and most people support the rebels’ cause against Indian rule despite a decades-long military crackdown to fight the armed rebellion.
