SRINAGAR (Web Desk) – Indian troops on Tuesday killed at least three Kashmiri youth in Pulwama district of the valley.
Charred bodies of two martyred youth were recovered from the debris of two residential houses destroyed by the troops while using chemical substance during a crackdown operation in Hakripora area of the district.

The martyred youth has been identified as Firdous Ahmad Khan. According to doctors, he was hit by bullet in his chest. At least 15 injured persons were referred to hospitals in Pulwama and Srinagar.
