 A major security operation is underway in Indian-administered Kashmir after at least four soldiers were killed during a gun battle with militants. It's the latest eruption of violence in the disputed region. Police in Oman say four people have been killed and several wounded by gunfire at a mosque in the Wadi al-Kabir area near the capital, Muscat. Reports say worshippers have been gathering to mark Ashura, a Shia Islam day of mourning. Such violence is rare in Oman.
