Teenager, two militants killed in IHK

A teenage boy and two militants were killed in a firefight with government forces in Indian-Held Kashmir on Thursday that brought hundreds of local villagers out onto the streets in defiance of police orders. Police said the firefight began after soldiers and police cordoned off a village outside the main city of occupied Srinagar early Thursday, believing that two suspected militants were hiding out there. Both died in the firefight, which also killed a 15-year-old student hit by a stray bullet, and injured a second civilian.
