A group of militants had attacked an Indian police station in Jammu and Kashmir state near the border with Pakistan on Thursday, killing four, and had later attacked an army camp where a shootout was still going on, police said.
"The militants hijacked a truck after the attack on the police station and drove towards Jammu city and carried out another attack on Mesar army camp on Delhi-Jammu National Highway near Samb town," said Rajesh Kumar, inspector general of police for the Jammu range.
"The militants are now inside the camp and firing is going on. They shot one army man who was guarding the camp."
India has faced an insurgency in its part of Muslim-majority Kashmir since 1989 and has long accused Pakistan of supporting the militants fighting Indian rule.
