An Indian soldier was killed on Sunday in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), during an operation "based on specific intelligence" about the presence of suspected Kashmiri fighters in southern Kishtwar, the army said.
On Saturday evening the army reported killing a Kashmiri fighter in a separate gunfight. Police said another two gunfights were taking place in the Himalayan region on Sunday, with fighting reported in both the Zabarwan and Baramulla areas.
In a renewed surge in attacks since October, gunmen have been launching an ambush on an army convoy, as well as firing on a construction camp, killing seven people. Last week, an attacker hurled a grenade at a busy market in the main city of Srinagar, wounding 12 people.
On Wednesday, Kashmir's newly-elected regional assembly passed a resolution demanding New Delhi restore the territory's autonomy, cancelled in 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist government.
