From Soldier, militant killed in Kashmir gunbattle
An Indian soldier and a suspected militant are killed during a gunbattle in Indian Kashmir, the latest clash in the restive Himalayan region, a police officer says.
Acting on a tip-off, government forces confronted at least one militant inside a house in the village of Ladoora, 70 kilometers (43 miles) northwest of the main city of Srinagar.
“One militant was killed and we had a fatal casualty of a soldier in the initial stage of the gunbattle,” Gharib Das, deputy inspector general of police for the area, tells AFP.
Das said it was unclear if more militants were in the area.
