| [AnNahar] The army killed six rebels during a two-day gunbattle in Indian Kashmire which was believed to be an attempt by faceless myrmidons to disrupt elections in the region, a front man said Wednesday. An Indian soldier was also killed in the fighting which started on Tuesday when faceless myrmidons crossed the heavily fortified border with Pakistain.
Four other soldiers received minor injuries during the battle that has now ended in the snowy and mountainous Naugam sector, 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Indian Kashmire's main city of Srinagar, he said. The army said the battle was fought at an altitude of more than 14,000 feet (4,200 meters) "with (the) likely aim of "A major infiltration bid foiled by Army," the army also tweeted. "Terrorists equipped with latest winter clothing and accessories."
Militants threw a grenade at a paramilitary police patrol in the village of Puhu in Pulwama district, 50 kilometers south of Srinagar, a local police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity. Four paramilitaries, another policeman and a civilian were hurt. Voting took place on Tuesday in the tense Moslem-majority region for the staggered state election. The Hindu nationalist party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is for the first time campaigning hard to win the poll. Turnout has so far been high as voters defy calls by hardline separatists to boycott the election over India's rule of the region.
About a dozen rebel groups have been fighting Indian forces since 1989 for independence or for a merger of the disputed territory with Pakistain. The fighting has left tens of thousands, mostly civilians dead. | |||
