SRINAGAR, Oct 17: Three militants and a policeman were killed in separate incidents in occupied Kashmir after militants ended a brief unilateral truce, police said on Wednesday.

The militants were killed in a four-hour-long gunbattle in southern Doda district late on Tuesday, a police statement said.

It said militants also shot dead a police officer inside his home in northern Kupwara district.
