Two suspected freedom fighters and an Indian occupation army officer were killed and 15 people hurt in fresh shootouts and a grenade blast in Indian occupied Kashmir, police said on Saturday.
The deaths took place in the district of Pulwama early Saturday when the Indian occupation army raided a suspected freedom fighters hideout, a police spokesman said.
"As the soldiers raided a hideout, suspected freedom fighters opened fire killing an army officer and wounding a soldier," the spokesman said, adding that two suspected freedom fighters were killed in the retaliatory action.
In occupied Srinagar, nine civilians and a policeman were hurt in a grenade attack on Saturday by suspected freedom fighters in a busy commercial street, police chief Syed Mujtaba said. "The grenade was aimed at police but mostly injured civilians," he said.
The noise from the blasts sparked panic in the street as rescuers removed injured to hospital. Mujataba said one of the wounded was in critical condition.
