NEW DELHI, May 22 (Xinhua) -- An Indian army trooper was killed Thursday in an ongoing fierce gunfight with militants in restive Indian-controlled Kashmir, officials said.
The gunfight broke out in the Singhpora-Chatroo forest area of Kishtwar district, about 200 km southeast of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Last week, six militants were killed in two separate gunfights with government forces in the region. ■
