Two Indian soldiers killed in attack on army base near Line of Control
Armed militants attacked a major Indian army base near the Line of Control (LoC) early Tuesday, killing two soldiers, police said.
“Three to four militants entered the Army Corps headquarters at Nagrota and fired towards the officers' mess,” a senior police officer told AFP, referring to a town in northern India roughly 20 kilometres from the border.
“Two officers were killed and an exchange of fire is on,” he told AFP by phone, speaking on condition of anonymity.
