Indian police kill six suspected rebels during two separate clashes in India-administered Kashmir overnight, rounding off another bloody year in the disputed territory
The killings came during a surge in the government's offensive against anti-India rebels in Kashmir, which is divided between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan and claimed by both.
India has long accused Pakistan of facilitating cross-border attacks in the territory, which has been divided between the two since 1947 and which both claim in full. Islamabad denies the charge. That was when New Delhi revoked the region's limited autonomy and brought it under direct rule, adding to anger among locals and galvanising support for self-determination.This year the death toll was 264, compared to 321 in 2020, according to the South Asia Terrorism Portal.
