    Militants kill 11 in Manipur

    Imphal: At least 11 persons were killed and 23 others injured when suspected militants attack the Khamelock village in Manipur, police said on Wednesday.

    A police official said that heavily armed militants attacked the village late on Tuesday night and fired at the villagers with automatic weapons killing nine persons on the spot and injuring 23 others, including women.

    Two people succumbed to their injuries during treatment.

    The official said the death toll is likely to increase as several of the injured are said to be critical.

    Khamenlok village lies along the borders of the Meitei-dominated Imphal East district and the tribal inhabited Kangpokpi district.

    Additional paramilitary forces were deployed in Khamenlok, where several people have been killed in recent clashes.

    Five Indian soldiers killed in operation against Kashmir militants

    KASHMIR: Five Indian Army soldiers were killed and one wounded during an operation against militants in Kashmir on Friday, the army said. Indian defence forces have launched several operations in the Rajouri sector of the Himalayan region since unidentified attackers opened fire on an Indian Army vehicle last month.

    A military search team came across a group of militants in an area which is “thickly vegetated with rocky and steep cliffs” on Friday morning, the army said in a statement.

    “The terrorists triggered an explosive device in retaliation,” the army said. Two soldiers died in the attack and another three succumbed to their injuries later in the day, it added.

    Kashmir is claimed in full but ruled in part by nuclear-armed neighbours, India and Pakistan. New Delhi has accused Pakistan of stoking a decades-long insurgency in Kashmir. Islamabad denies that, saying it only provides diplomatic and moral support for Kashmiris seeking self-determination.
