SRINAGAR, India, Dhu-AlHijjah 17, 1437, September 18, 2016, SPA -- Suspected rebels using guns and grenades sneaked into a crucial army base in Indian-administered Kashmir early Sunday and killed at least 17 soldiers, the army said, according to AP. Four rebels were killed as the soldiers returned gunfire after the surprise assault before dawn on the base. Loud explosions were heard and several barracks caught fire in the initial hours of the attack. Afterward, military helicopters hovered over the base as the army conducted what it described as "mopping up" operations. --SPA 14:59 LOCAL TIME 11:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
