Indian paramilitary says 4 rebels killed in Kashmir attack

None

SRINAGAR -- Indian soldiers killed four militants who attempted to storm a paramilitary camp in disputed Kashmir before dawn Monday, a paramilitary officer said.

 

The four militants fired from their automatic rifles and hurled grenades as they approached but soldiers at the sentry post intercepted them and engaged the militants in a firefight before they could enter the camp, Bhavesh Chaudhary said.

 

He said no soldier was injured in the attack in Sumbal, a northern town about 30 kilometers (19 miles) from Srinagar, the main city in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.

 

There was no independent confirmation of the incident and no rebel group fighting against Indian rule immediately issued any statement about the attack.
