Clashes in Kashmir Result in Casualties on Both Sides
Key Points:
- Three Kashmiri Fighters Killed: Indian forces claimed to have killed three freedom fighters in a forest area of Kishtwar (southern Kashmir) after a clash that began on Wednesday.
- Indian Soldier Killed: A separate skirmish near the Line of Control (LoC) in Sunderbani claimed the life of one Indian soldier late Friday.
- Indian Army’s Statement: Brigadier JBS Rathi praised troops for their “tactical acumen,” referring to the slain fighters as “neutralized terrorists.”
- Recovered Weapons: The army’s White Knight Corps stated that arms and “war-like stores” were seized from the encounter site.
The latest clashes near the LoC highlight the ongoing conflict in Indian-occupied Kashmir, with both Kashmiri fighters and Indian forces suffering casualties. The Indian military continues its operations against resistance groups, framing them as “anti-terror” efforts, while Kashmiri fighters persist in their struggle against Indian rule. The situation remains volatile, with no signs of de-escalation.
