Indian soldiers killed four suspected Muslim militants on Monday when they tried to sneak into Indian-held Kashmir from Pakistan, the second infiltration attempt in the past week, an army spokesman said. Violence in Kashmir has flared up in recent weeks after the end of winter has allowed easier movement of militants within the Himalayan region and allowed them passage through the mountains into Indian Kashmir from Pakistan. “Soldiers challenged a group of infiltrators in the Manjkote area near the Line of Control which resulted in a fierce battle,” said Lieutenant-Colonel SD Goswami, an Indian army spokesman. “Four militants were killed while the others fled. A search operation in the area is still in progress.” Later on Monday, six civilians were wounded when suspected militants lobbed a grenade at a police post in Srinagar, police said.
