Two suspected Islamic militants stormed an Army camp in Kashmir, killing 12 soldiers before they were slain.
The guerrillas attacked the brigade headquarters in Sunjwan, on the outskirts of Jammu, Army spokesman Brigadier BS Jind told reporters.
The attackers were killed in an exchange of gunfire with troops that lasted more than two hours, Jind said.
Al Nasreen, a little-known Islamic rebel group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
