| Indian troops killed six militants in separate gun battles, including two senior members of militant groups, police said on Sunday. After a fierce firefight, soldiers shot dead two "divisional commanders" of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish Muhammad militant groups in the Sopore area of north Kashmir, a police spokesman said. Another militant and a soldier were killed in a separate clash in a remote area, police said. They said Indian soldiers also killed three suspected militants late on Saturday when they tried to sneak into Kashmir from across the Line of Control, northwest of Srinagar. New Delhi says militants regularly slip into India under the cover of shooting by Pakistani troops to join an anti-Indian insurgency in Kashmir. Islamabad denies the charge. |
