SRINAGAR, June 26: Eight people were killed in held Kashmir, including four militants shot dead in a gunbattle while trying to cross into India, police claimed on Monday.
They said 14 militants were trying to sneak across the Line of Control on Sunday around 150km from Srinagar.
“The gunbattle continued for several hours and the bodies of four militants were later found at the scene,” a police spokesman claimed. The others were believed to have fled into dense forests nearby. A fifth militant was killed elsewhere in a bid to flush out militants from a village, he said.—AFP
