Attack on Indian army base in occupied Kashmir, as it happened
2016-09-20
[DAWN] Heavily-armed suspected gunnies killed 17 Indian soldiers in a pre-dawn raid Sunday on an army base in India-held Kashmire (IHK), the worst such attack for years in the disputed Himalayan region.

The 'militants' first attacked a frontline base close to the Line of Control (LoC) before moving onto the brigade headquarters at Uri, army front man Colonel S.D. Goswami said.

They were armed with grenades and automatic rifles, an army official said on condition of anonymity.

Residents of Uri town saw smoke billowing from the nearby army base after dawn and heard continuous rounds of heavy gunfire, while army helicopters circled overhead.
