“Three militants slain in Kashmir clash”

Three suspected rebel fighters were killed in clashes between security forces and militants in Indian-administered Kashmir, as reported by the Indian army. The incident, which occurred in the high-altitude Kishtwar district, marked the second deadly encounter in the disputed region this month. The army confirmed that the operation resulted in the elimination of three militants based on credible intelligence suggesting their presence in the area. Weapons were recovered by security forces at the site following the operation, mirroring a similar engagement earlier in the month where three militants were also neutralized. The historical conflict over Kashmir dates back to the partition of British India in 1947, leading to its division between India and Pakistan.
