| JAMMU, India - Suspected militants clashed with soldiers in an overnight gunbattle after they allegedly entered Indian-controlled Kashmir from the Pakistani side of a ceasefire line, leaving four guerillas and four soldiers dead, an army spokesman said on Friday. Another two Indian soldiers was wounded in the fighting in Punch district, 220 kilometers (137 miles) northeast of Jammu, the winter capital of India’s Jammu-Kashmir state, said Lt. Col. D. K. Badola, the army spokesman. The fighting began Thursday night and continued until early Friday, Badola told The Associated Press. There was no independent confirmation of the army claim. |
