Three insurgents killed in clashes in India-administered Kashmir

The death of three insurgents in clashes with security forces in Indian Kashmir Saturday has raised the number of separatists killed so far this year to 122, surpassing a total of 119 in the year 2016, marking a period of particular turbulence in the region.


The operation began Saturday at around 1 am (07:00 GMT on Friday) near the town of Sopore - about 38 kilometers south of the summer capital of Srinagar - and lasted for more than four hours, until the "three terrorists were neutralized," Indian Army spokesperson, Colonel Aman Anand, told EFE.
