Indian troops say they have shot dead five militants who had crossed the international border from Pakistan into Indian-administered Kashmir. The men were intercepted by the troops in the Gurez area, a spokesman for the Indian army said.
The army said it had foiled many attempts by militants to cross the border this year.
Both India and Pakistan claim the disputed territory of Kashmir and have fought two wars over it.
The incident happened just two days after suspected militants killed two Indian paramilitary soldiers in Lal Chowk area in the summer capital, Srinagar.
In a separate incident on Monday, militants threw a grenade in the city’s Batmaloo area, injuring several people.
Seventeen militants and eight Indian soldiers were killed in a five-day-long gunbattle in Kupwara area near the de facto international border in March.
There has been relative calm since India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire in Kashmir in 2003.
Kashmir has been a flashpoint between the neighbours for more than 50 years and the scene of two of their three wars.
Muslim separatists have waged an insurgency since 1989.
