Police say rebels storm India army camp in Kashmir, 5 killed

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Three Indian soldiers and two suspected militants have been killed after rebels stormed a military camp in disputed Kashmir. A senior police officer said at least two assailants armed with guns and grenades attacked the camp in the remote Darhal area of southern Rajouri district early Thursday. The officer said the soldiers responded to the attack, triggering a gunbattle that lasted for at least three hours. A reinforcement of soldiers and counterinsurgency police encircled the camp as the fighting raged inside. There was no independent confirmation of the incident. India and Pakistan claim the divided territory of Kashmir in its entirety. Rebels in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir have been fighting New Delhi’s rule since 1989.
