Indian soldiers shot dead four suspected rebels Friday near the heavily militarized border in Kashmir as they tried to sneak into the country from the Pakistani side, The Express Tribune quoted an Indian army spokesperson as saying.

The group of armed men were intercepted by Indian soldiers when they crossed the Line of Control (LoC) early morning in Gurez, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) north of the main city of Srinagar.

“The infiltration bid was foiled and the four terrorists were killed,” Indian army spokesperson Colonel N N Joshi said.
