Indian troops killed a suspected freedom fighter in Indian-Occupied Kashmir (IoK) on Monday hours after gunmen sprayed a military convoy with bullets, the army said, in the latest attack in the disputed Himalayan territory.

Gunmen fired on the Indian army convoy including an ambulance in the early hours of Monday in the mountainous southern Akhnoor area, near the unofficial border with Pakistan. No one was injured.

Soldiers launched a hunt for the attackers, later reporting that one person had been killed.

“Body of one terrorist, along with weapon has been recovered,” the Indian army’s XVI Corps said in a statement.

At least 500,000 Indian troops are deployed in Indian-occupied Kashmir, battling an insurgency that has killed tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and freedom fighters since 1989.

Earlier this month gunmen killed seven people near a construction site of a strategic road tunnel to Ladakh, the high-altitude region bordering China.

On Friday, Indian officials said five people — including three soldiers — were killed in an ambush on an army convoy.

New Delhi regularly blames Pakistan for arming the militants and helping them launch attacks, an allegation Islamabad denies.

The army says more than 720 rebels have been killed since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government cancelled the territory’s limited autonomy in 2019.

Indian-occupied Kashmir’s (IoK) legislative assembly passed a resolution on Wednesday demanding that New Delhi restore the Muslim-majority territory’s partial autonomy, cancelled in 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.

New Delhi cancelled IoK’s special status in 2019, a sudden decision accompanied by mass arrests and a months-long communications blackout.

It has been ruled by a governor appointed by New Delhi since.

But last month the territory also elected its local legislative assembly, with voters choosing a government in opposition to Modi’s Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“This assembly calls upon the Government of India to initiate dialogue with elected representatives of people of Jammu and Kashmir for restoration of special status,” the resolution read, passed by a majority vote.

The 29 BJP members in the 90-seat house opposed the non-binding resolution, which requires the approval from the federally appointed governor.

“The assembly has done its job,” chief minister Omar Abdullah told reporters.

The resolution said it “reaffirms the importance of the special and constitutional guarantees, which safeguarded the identity, culture and rights of the people of Jammu and Kashmir”.

Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since partition at the chaotic end of British rule in 1947, and both countries claim the territory in full.

About 500,000 Indian troops are deployed in the region, battling a 35-year separatist movement in which tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and Kashmiri fighters have lost their lives, including dozens this year alone.

The 2019 constitutional amendment imposing direct rule also downgraded held-Kashmir from a federal state to a “union territory”.

Modi has promised to restore that, without giving a timeline.
 
The violence in Kashmir is far less than what it used to be before Article 370 was abolished

The Kashmir War section is specifically for Pakistanis to highlight the Pakistani version of the Kashmir issue. I respect your opinion but it is irrelevant in this case.
