Fighting in Indian-held Kashmir killed two soldiers and two suspected rebels Friday, as representatives from India and Pakistan met to discuss security on the disputed frontier.
The deaths were the latest to occur in recent weeks, which have seen an upsurge in firing by both sides across the heavily militarised border.
Police said the fighting broke out late Thursday after the army received a tip-off regarding the presence of suspected militants in Laribal village, some 70 kilometres northwest of the main city of Srinagar.
“Two terrorists were killed and we lost two soldiers in the firefight with them,” the local deputy inspector general of police Gharib Das told AFP.
