SRINAGAR, India: Suspected rebels killed five soldiers in disputed Indian-administered Kashmir on Thursday when they opened fire and threw explosives at an army truck, a military statement said.

The vehicle caught fire 'due to likely use of grenades' thrown by the unidentified attackers in the southern Rajouri sector, close to the unofficial border dividing Kashmir and Pakistan, it said.
