Russia Condemns Deadly Militant Attack on India's Kashmir Army Base
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — An unknown number of militants attacked a police post in Langate town in India's Jammu and Kashmir state, local media reported on Monday.

No casualties have been reported so far, the NDTV broadcaster said.

The assault came just one day after a terrorist attack on the army brigade headquarters in the state which killed 18 servicemen.

The region of Kashmir has been disputed by India and Pakistan since the dissolution of British India and the establishment of the two states in 1947. Some local residents, most of them Muslims, especially those residing in the Kashmir Valley, call for greater autonomy or even independence from India.
