At Least 10 People Die in Kashmir Attacks
Suspected Islamic militants raided an Indian paramilitary camp and blew up an army truck in two attacks in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, killing at least four Indian soldiers, authorities said. Four guerrillas and two civilians died in other attacks, they said.
In one attack, gunmen opened fire on soldiers guarding a camp that houses 600 paramilitary troops 95 miles north of Jammu, the winter capital of India’s Jammu and Kashmir state, a police official said. At least two soldiers were killed and one wounded before the attackers fled.
Two soldiers were killed and two wounded when a land mine was detonated under an army truck 75 miles north of Jammu, army officials said.
