None
Militants attacked an Indian army brigade headquarters near the de factor border with Pakistan on Sunday, killing at least nine soldiers in the most deadly such attack in the northern region of Kashmir since 2014.
Four "fidayeen" - or commando-style gunmen willing to fight to the death - had been confirmed killed after penetrating the base in Uri near the Line of Control with Pakistan, an Indian army spokesman said.
The army deployed helicopters to evacuate 20 soldiers who had been injured in the dawn attack that was followed by an hours-long gunfight, army sources had said earlier, adding the toll may rise.
