Four suspected freedom fighters and a federal policeman were killed on Sunday in occupied Kashmir, an army spokesman said. A member of the Central Reserve Police Force, or CRPF, and a suspected freedom fighter were killed in a clash in Kulgam, spokesman Hemant Joneja told AFP.
"The fighting erupted when army soldiers, backed by CRPF raided a hideout in the area," he said, adding the operation by the troops was continuing.
Three more suspected freedom fighters were killed jointly by the army and local police's counter insurgency Special Operations Group in the southern Pulwama and northern Kupwara districts early Sunday, Joneja said.
"The fighting has stopped at both the places but search operations are on to find out more possible hiding fighters," he said.
