Gunmen killed Indian army soldiers and two civilian porters working for them and four other soldiers wounded in an attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Gunmen attacked a truck in which the porters and soldiers were traveling in Botapathri, a mountainous area of the famed skiing spot Gulmarg. The injured soldiers are being treated at a hospital.

This is the second major attack in the past four days. On Oct. 20, two suspected militants attacked a construction site, killing six non-local laborers and a local doctor.

The attack was carried out on a prefabricated hut for the laborers who were working on a tunnel project, one of the two such projects aimed at building all-weather road connectivity to the strategically sensitive Ladakh region, which borders China and where an altercation between the armies of the two nations in 2020 had soured their relations.
