| Ten people, including a colonel, were killed in a clash between troops and militants trying to get into Indian-held Kashmir from the Pakistani side, the Indian army said on Wednesday. “The army has foiled a major infiltration attempt by militants from across the Line of Control (LoC),” army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Anil Kumar Mathur said. “We have shot dead eight militants in (northern) Uri sector in an operation that started on Tuesday and is ongoing,” Mathur said, asserting that it was the “biggest attempt” by rebels to sneak into Indian-held Kashmir this year. |
