At least 15 people, including 13 separatist guerrillas, were killed in gun battles in India’s troubled Kashmir region, police said.

New Delhi accuses Pakistan of arming and training Kashmiri separatists and sending in foreign Islamic mercenaries from Afghanistan and elsewhere, a charge Islamabad denies.
