India: Security forces kill 3 militants in separate gun battles in Kashmir

In a series of gunbattles in Jammu and Kashmir, security forces killed three militants, including a senior member of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Two terrorists were killed near Halkan Gali in the Shangus-Larnoo area in Anantnag district. Last week, militants had ambushed an army vehicle and killed five people, including three soldiers. A week before that, militants had killed seven people near a construction site for a strategic road tunnel to Ladakh, a high-altitude Himalayan region bordering China. According to the Army, more than 720 militants have been killed since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government cancelled the J&K’s limited autonomy in 2019. At least 500,000 Indian troops are deployed in Kashmir, battling an insurgency that has killed tens of thousands of civilians, soldiers and militants since 1989.

The golden jackal (Canis aureus) is a wolf-like canid that is native to Eurasia. The golden jackal - the largest of the jackals - resembles a small wolf, but with a comparatively more slender build, shorter legs, and a shorter tail.
