Twelve people were killed in separate clashes in Indian occupied Kashmir, while homes and shops were gutted in a gun-battle in the troubled Himalayan territory, police said on Thursday.
An Indian paramilitary trooper was killed in a landmine explosion on a highway in the Singhpora village of northern Baramulla district mid-afternoon, police said.
"The mine was planted on the edge of a road and exploded when a paramilitary man stepped over it," a police spokesman said, adding the victim died on the spot. The victim was part of a security patrol, he said.
Indian occupation troops, meanwhile, shot dead five alleged mujahideen in northern Kupwara district Thursday, police said, adding that 13 houses, two shops and seven cowsheds were gutted in a fire that broke out during the clash in Tikipora village.
Two other Mujahideen were killed in separate clashes with Indian occupation troops late Wednesday, the spokesman said.
In southern Anantnag district, suspected Mujahideen murdered a supporter of ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) overnight, he said.
