Police say three rebels have been killed in fighting with government forces in disputed Kashmir, triggering anti-India clashes in the Himalayan region in which at least 10 civilians were injured.
Police say Sunday’s fighting began after Indian government forces cordoned off a village in the southern Kulgam area following a tip that militants were hiding there. That led to an exchange of gunfire.
The fighting sparked protests and clashes as hundreds of residents tried to march to the site of the battle in solidarity with militants.
