The Kashmiris were martyred by the troops during a search operation in Pinglena area of the district.

The killings led to clashes between the protesters and the troops in the area.

On the other hand, five Indian troops including an officer were killed in an attack in the same area.

The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani in a statement strongly condemned the rampage and brutalities unleashed by India against the Muslims in Jammu.
