A soldier keeps an eye on the movements at Gurez, about 180 kilometers (113 miles) north of Srinagar, India, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011. Indian troops in Kashmir fought a deadly gunbattle with suspected rebels crossing the military Line of Control from Pakistani-controlled territory Saturday, the army said.

He said the other five bodies were lost when they fell into a river during the fighting in the disputed Himalayan region.
