Kashmir: Four militants of Hizbul Mujahideen (HuM) group died in Kashmir clashes with Indian armed forces
Four militants have been killed in a two-day gun battle with security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir, the Indian army says.
At least one army officer was also killed and five soldiers injured in the fighting. Unconfirmed reports said three soldiers may have died.
The army said the militants were members of the Pakistan-based Hizbul Mujahideen (HuM) group.
Kashmir is at the centre of decades of hostility between India and Pakistan.
The region has been the cause of two of their three wars since independence from British rule in 1947.
