Death toll rises to ten in attack on Indian army camp

The death toll from a freedom fighters attack on an army base in the Indian-held Kashmir climbed to 10, police said, as a siege at the compound stretched into a second day. A firefight erupted Saturday when an unknown number of heavily-armed freedom fighters stormed the base in occupied Jammu, the second-largest city in the disputed Himalayan region bordering Pakistan.
Authorities initially said four people were killed in the brazen pre-dawn strike, but updated the death toll as elite Indian commandos flanked by armoured vehicles searched the sprawling compound. "Five soldiers, one civilian and four terrorists have been killed so far," police chief Shesh Paul Vaid told AFP.
