Indian soldier, militant killed in Kashmir

An Indian soldier was killed in Kashmir yesterday, the army said, as troops battled gunmen in the latest violence in the region.The army said an operation had been mounted “based on specific intelligence” about the presence of militants in remote southern Kishtwar where gunmen last week shot dead two village defence guards.The village defence guards are a force tasked with fighting off militant attacks.The gunmen were from “the same group” behind the killing of the guards, the army said in a post on X.On Saturday evening the army reported killing a militant in a separate gunfight.Police said another two gunfights were taking place in the Himalayan region yesterday with fighting reported in both the Zabarwan and Baramulla areas.Last week, an attacker hurled a grenade at a busy market in the main city of Srinagar, wounding 12 people. Attacks since October have included gunmen launching an ambush on an army convoy, as well as firing on a construction camp, killing seven people.
