Indian troops kill three suspected Kashmir militants

NEW DELHI, July 15 (AFP): Soldiers in India-administered Jammu and Kashmir have killed three suspected militants, the army said, the latest incident in an uptick of attacks in the disputed northern territory.
Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947.
The Indian army's Chinar Corps said late Sunday that three people were killed in an "anti-infiltration operation" in Kashmir's Kupwara district, with "weapons and other war-like stores" seized.
India and Pakistan both claim Kashmir in full and have fought three wars for control of the Himalayan region.
New Delhi and Islamabad accuse each other of stoking militancy and espionage to undermine each other.
