KASHMIR (Bloomberg): An Indian Air Force member died after a convoy was attacked by militants in the Northern state of Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday, as the state gears up for elections this month.

Five IAF soldiers were wounded in the gunfight with terrorists who attacked the vehicles near Shahsitar, in the Poonch district, according to an update on the Indian Air Force’s X page. One of them succumbed after the injured were moved to the nearest military hospital.
