| SRINAGAR: An Indian policeman and five suspected militants, including two commanders wanted by the authorities, were killed in two separate gun battles in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK), police said on Thursday. The overnight clashes took place in the southern Pulwama and Doda districts, a police spokesperson said in Srinagar, the summer capital of IHK. “Among the dead were two militant commanders wanted by the security forces,' the spokesman said. Security officials have warned of a possible escalation in violence after the Indian military said last month that 400 militants were poised to cross into IHK from the Pakistani side of the disputed Himalayan region. |
