SRINAGAR, April 20: Fresh gunbattles between Kashmiri militants and government troops in occupied Kashmir left two dead on Friday and sparked a noisy demonstration, police and residents said.
Indian soldiers killed two Kashmiris during an early morning skirmish in southern Pulwama, army spokesman A. K. Mathur said.
Another battle on the outskirts of Srinagar sparked an anti-India demonstration after troops, backed by police, blew up a house where the Kashmiri rebels were reportedly hiding.
