 SRINAGAR, India - Six people, including three suspected Pakistani terrorists rebels, were killed in fresh violence in Kashmir ahead of India’s Independence Day later this week, the army and police said Sunday. ‘The three Pakistani terrorists militants were killed during a gunbattle that erupted when troops laid a cordon around a village on a tip-off late Saturday,’ said spokesman Colonel Hemant Joneja.

Fighting erupted after Indian troops, backed by counter-insurgency police, raided a hide-out in the village of Ringpait, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Srinagar. ‘The slain terrorists militants are Pakistanis and belong to Lashkar-e-Taiba,’ Joneja said, referring to the Kashmiri terrorist militant group.
In the neighbouring district of Baramulla an Indian security officer was killed and two others injured in a late night ambush by terrorists militants. In another incident, Indian troops shot dead a senior commander belonging to the regionÂ’s most powerful terrorist militant group, Hizbul Mujahedin, in southern Doda district on Sunday, police said.
Suspected terrorists militants also fired at two teenaged Kashmiri sisters Sunday in southern Pulwama district killing one and wounding the other, police said. The motive behind the attack was unclear.
