Indian security forces martyred three people in the Indian-Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday in a gun battle, according to media reports.
The clash happened in Keller forest in the southern Kashmir valley, the army said. The site is around 65 kilometres from Pahalgam, where gunmen in April killed 26 people, mostly male Hindu tourists, sparking the worst fighting between India and Pakistan since 1999.
A "search and destroy Operation" was launched leading to a clash, the Indian army said on X.
Schools have reopened their doors in Chakothi, a village along the Line of Contron in Azad Jammu and Kashif, as well as in Srinagar, a key city in IIOJK.
Syeda Zohra Kazmi, a 13-year-old student in AJK, returned to school after it was "closed due to shelling".
"Shells also landed near our house, and splinters hit it. But I told my family that I would go to school today because it is reopening," she told AFP. "I am not afraid of the shelling". A post from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's X account on Tuesday said he had met with service members involved in the conflict.
