| Armed separatists often infiltrate Indian-administered Kashmir |
Since 1989, Kashmir has seen a growing, and often violent, Muslim separatist movement against Indian rule.
Some separatists favour independence, others would like Kashmir to be part of Pakistan.
India says Pakistan gives the militants logistical and material support - a claim rejected by Islamabad.
Years of separatist attacks and cross-border firing between the Indian and Pakistani armies have left tens of thousands of people dead.
