Five Indian soldiers killed in suspected rebel attack in Kashmir

Suspected rebels have killed five soldiers in disputed Indian-administered Kashmir when they opened fire and threw explosives at an army truck, the Indian military has said.

The vehicle caught fire “due to likely use of grenades”, the army said, which were thrown by the unidentified attackers in the southern Rajouri sector on Thursday, close to the highly militarised Line of Control that divides the Himalayan territory between India and Pakistan.
