| Six suspected Islamic militants and a policeman were killed in fresh gun battles in revolt-hit Jammu and Kashmir after weeks of relative calm, police said on Monday. The fighting was reported from northern Kupwara and southern Shopian districts after Indian troops launched search operations, a police statement said. “The deaths happened during three separate encounters between militants and security forces,” it added. There have been no major clashes in Kashmir for several weeks, with violence falling sharply since India and Pakistan launched a peace process in 2004. |
