The Indian army said Sunday it has killed four militants in a gunbattle near the Kashmir border separating Pakistan from India's portion of the Himalayan region, The Associated Press reported.
In a separate incident, a policeman was killed when a gunbattle broke out between rebels and security forces in the state's Poonch district.
The Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir has been racked by protests for the past two months following the killing of a top rebel leader.
