Police in Indian-controlled Kashmir say two suspected rebels and a police officer have been killed in a gunbattle in the disputed Himalayan region.
Police officer Manoj Panditha says in addition to the dead, one Indian army soldier was wounded in the fighting on late Monday evening in the southern Kashmir village of Dodhiporao.
