SRINAGAR. Kashmir—Five people were killed in a gun battle between members of a Pakistani militant group and Indian security forces in disputed Kashmir on Feb. 24 as India intensified a security crackdown, including detaining more than 160 separatists this weekend.
Three members of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM)—the Pakistan-based group that claimed a Feb. 14 suicide car bombing that killed 40 Indian paramilitary police—died in the shootout, as did a senior police officer and an Indian army soldier, according to the Indian military and police.
