J&K: Militants dressed in army fatigues attacked a police station this morning in Hiranagar of Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district, killing six people, including four cops. They then escaped and have surfaced in the adjoining Samba district, where they have reportedly attacked an Army installation.
Early reports say the group of militants escaped after the first attack in a truck. They are reportedly heavily armed and are now engaged in a gun battle with the Army in Samba.
Hiranagar in Kathua is about a kilometre from the border with Pakistan and the militants are believed to have infiltrated into India recently.
The audacious attack comes only a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh confirmed that he will meet Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the US on the sidelines of a United Nations session. The two leaders are expected to meet on Sunday.
Kashmir watchers say militants tend to step up attacks just before a round of talks between India and Pakistan.
Sources said there have been intelligence reports warning that there could be militant attacks in the Jammu region.
