Soldiers in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir battled insurgents yesterday, with a captain and a suspected rebel killed in clashes in the territory, the army and police said.
The Indian army, in a post on social media platform X, offered its “deepest condolences” over the death of the officer.
Police said in a statement that “during the ongoing operation, one terrorist has been neutralised”, a term they use indicating a gunman had been killed.
The violence is the latest in a string of clashes in the Hindu-dominated southern Jammu region this year.
Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called a meeting with army, security, and intelligence chiefs yesterday after the latest clashes in Jammu.
