A gunfight with suspected fighters left two Indian soldiers dead and two others injured in India-occupied Kashmir (IoK), days before local elections in the disputed Himalayan region.

IoK has seen a rise in clashes between fighters and security forces ahead of the first local assembly polls in the region for a decade.

The Indian army said the firefight took place on Friday in Kishtwar district, paying tribute to the “supreme sacrifice of the bravehearts” in a post on social media platform X.

The territory has been without an elected local government since 2019, when its partial autonomy was cancelled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.

A total of 8.7 million people will be eligible to vote for the region’s assembly when the election begins on September 18, with results expected in October.

Ahead of the vote, Modi is expected to address rallies for his Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the southern Jammu portion of the territory, which has a sizeable Hindu population.

In the past two years, more than 50 soldiers were killed in clashes, mostly in Jammu.

New Delhi accuses Pakistan of backing the region’s fighters and cross-border attacks inside its territory — claims Islamabad denies.

Toll from attack in India-occupied Kashmir rises to seven: reports​

October 21, 2024

Gunmen in India-occupied Kashmir raked a construction site work camp with bullets, killing seven people and wounding several others, Indian media reported on Monday, updating an earlier toll.

The attack on Sunday is one of the worst this year targeting civilians.

The contested territory’s chief minister, Omar Abdullah, called the attack late Sunday “dastardly and cowardly”, while India’s interior minister Amit Shah vowed those responsible would face the “harshest” response.

Attackers targeted workers from outside the Himalayan region, who were reported to be building a tunnel connecting held Kashmir with the far northern Ladakh region.

Among the seven killed was a doctor, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported on Monday, adding several others were wounded.

Abdullah, who was sworn in as the region’s chief minister on Wednesday after its first local elections for a decade, said he strongly condemned the attack on “non-local labourers”.

Soon after the attack, Abdullah confirmed two people had been killed but had warned there were also “a number of injured labourers, both local and non-local”.

At least 500,000 Indian troops are deployed in occupied Kashmir, battling resistance fighters with tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and fighters killed since 1989.

India’s home minister Amit Shah called the killings “a despicable act of cowardice”, in a statement.

“Those involved in this heinous act will not be spared, and will face the harshest response from our security forces,” Shah said.

The attack took place in Gagangir in Sonamarg region, where Nitin Gadkari, India’s minister of roads said the “innocent labourers” had been working on a “vital infrastructure project”.

Gunmen fired automatic weapons at the camp from forested hills around, Indian newspapers reported.

India regularly accuses Pakistan of supporting and arming the fighters, a charge Islamabad denies.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government cancelled Kashmir’s limited autonomy in 2019, accompanied by mass arrests and a months-long communications blackout.

His administration says the decision has allowed it to stem resistance fighters, but critics have accused it of suppressing political freedoms.

Nine Indian Hindu pilgrims were killed and dozens more wounded in June when a gunman opened fire on a bus carrying them from a shrine in Reasi district.

Kashmiri fighters kill five in ambush on army vehicle in IIOJK​

Fighters in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) ambushed an army vehicle and killed five people, including three soldiers, officials said Friday, days after gunmen killed seven construction workers in the disputed territory.

Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947, and both claim the territory in full.

India's army confirmed a brief exchange of fire with fighters late Thursday in the vicinity of Gulmarg, near the heavily militarised unofficial border dividing IIOJK with Pakistan.

India's Chinar Corps army unit paid tribute to two slain riflemen, expressing "deepest condolences" and "solidarity with the bereaved families" in a post Friday on social media platform X.

Another soldier wounded in the attack died Friday at a military hospital.

A local government official told AFP two civilian porters engaged by the army were also killed.

The official, declining to be named because he was not authorised to speak to media, said the porters were travelling with soldiers when their vehicle was "ambushed by militants".

Their bodies were handed to their families for last rites, an AFP journalist saw.

The region's governor Manoj Sinha joined top army officers to lay floral wreaths on three coffins wrapped in the Indian national flag to pay tribute to the dead soldiers at the military headquarters in the main city of Srinagar.

"Paid homage to the brave soldiers and Defence Porters," Sinha posted on X.

India has a permanent deployment of about 500,000 soldiers in the part of IIOJK controlled by New Delhi.

Anti-India freedom fighter groups have waged an insurgency for decades, demanding independence for Kashmir or its merger with Pakistan.
