Eight civilians, seven Muslim militants and an Indian soldier were killed while 21 others were injured in a surge of violence in Indian Kashmir, police said.

A police spokesman said Saturday two militants and a soldier were killed and two army soldiers injured in a five-hour gunbattle in the central Kashmir district of Budgam.

A Muslim civilian, Ghulam Mohammed, was killed in the crossfire, he said.

"The encounter erupted when Indian army troops, backed by police, ringed a residential house where militants had taken refuge," he said.

The spokesman said the holed-up militants opened fire, which was returned.

"During the exchange of fire few houses were also damaged," he said.
