Ten people killed in India-controlled Kashmir clashes
2017-06-17
[Iran Press TV] Separate festivities in Indian-controlled Kashmire have left at least ten people dead as tensions continue in the region.

Authorities said on Friday that the dear departed included five coppers, a soldier, two civilians and two suspected holy warriors.

In one incident, suspected bully boyz ambushed a police patrol in the town of Achhabal.

In the ambush, five coppers were killed, according to a top police officer who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity.

The officer added that in a separate incident, soldiers and special forces, who had cordoned off Arwani village on a tip off that bully boyz were hiding in it, opened fire on villagers who allegedly wanted to help the bully boyz flee.

Two civilians, including a teenage boy, and two suspected bully boyz were killed in the incident, he reported.

In a third incident, an Indian soldier was killed in cross border shooting.

Pak soldiers had allegedly fired shots at Indian posts in southern Naushera along the Line of Control (LoC) dividing Kashmire, killing the Indian soldier, according to an Indian Army front man.
