SRINAGAR -- A young man was killed and several others injured in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Friday in anti-India clashes that erupted during a gunbattle between rebels and government forces in the disputed region, officials and witnesses said.

 

Inspector-general of police Muneer Ahmed Khan said government forces cordoned off southern Arwani village on a tip that at least two Kashmiri rebels were hiding there.

 

The fighting began when the militants began firing in an attempt to break through the siege, Khan said.
