Three Kashmiri freedom fighters embraced martyrdom while an Indian soldier was killed in separate firefights near the Line of Control, the Indian army said on Saturday.
The Indian army claimed to have killed three fighters in a clash that began on Wednesday in a remote forest in Kishtwar in the south of the disputed territory.
Senior Indian army official Brigadier JBS Rathi said troops had displayed "great tactical acumen". "In the gun battle, three terrorists were neutralised," he told reporters on Saturday in a commonly used term for freedom fighters who have been fighting against the Indian rule in Kashmir.
Weapons and "war-like stores" were recovered from the site, the army's White Knight Corps posted on social media platform X.
A soldier was killed in a separate incident late on Friday night in Sunderbani district along the Line of Control (LoC).
