6 Pak militants among 10 killed in Kashmir

The six were gunned down after they sneaked into Indian Kashmir's northern Kupwara and southern Poonch districts on Friday night, a police spokesman said.

"Five of the infiltrators were shot dead early Saturday in the Shahpur area of Poonch district," said a police spokesman, referring to southern Poonch district, which borders Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

"The militants were killed during a fierce encounter that erupted as soon as they infiltrated our territory," he said, adding that a soldier was seriously wounded in the gunbattle.
