Militants attacked an army patrol in Indian Kashmir on Thursday. 11 people, including four civilians, were killed.Violence had been ongoing throughout summer along the border, with India and Pakistan trading fire across the nebulous line of control. With most Kashmir militant groups based out of Pakistan, today’s incident risks another flareup.The gun battle began near the international border in the morning after a group of heavily armed guerrillas infiltrated into the Indian side in Arnia sub-sector. “The group - comprising seven to eight militants - fired at a civilian vehicle after they infiltrated into the Indian side in Arnia in Jammu district. The driver and two occupants of the vehicle were killed, after which the militants entered an abandoned army bunker in Pind Khote village in R S Pura,” a police officer said.
