Four Islamic militants and a federal policeman were killed on Sunday in ongoing clashes in Indian Kashmir, an army spokesman said. A member of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and a militant were killed in a clash in the southern town of Kulgam, spokesman Hemant Joneja told AFP. "The fighting erupted when army soldiers, backed by CRPF raided a rebel hideout in the area," he said, adding the operation by the troops was continuing. Three more rebels were killed jointly by the army and local police's counter insurgency Special Operations Group in the southern Pulwama and northern Kupwara districts early on Sunday, Joneja said. "The fighting has stopped at both the places but search operations are on to find out more possible hiding rebels," he said.
