The Indian army said Monday its soldiers killed four suspected ‘rebels’ who attempted to cross into the Indian-administered part of Kashmir at the unofficial border dividing the disputed territory with Pakistan.

The shootout happened late Sunday evening when soldiers guarding the border known as the Line of Control (LoC) intercepted four armed men in Keran, 140 kilometers northwest of the main city of Srinagar.

“The four infiltrators were killed in an exchange of fire. Their bodies and four weapons have also been recovered,” Indian army spokesman, Colonel Rajesh Kalia, told AFP.
