SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Gunmen disguised as Indian soldiers hijacked a car Friday in Indian-controlled Kashmir, killing the driver and a passenger, and used it to try to storm an Indian army artillery unit, triggering a firefight that left four more people dead, authorities said.

At least three gunmen fired on the vehicle in the Dayalchak area, about 340 kilometers (210 miles) south of Srinagar, wounding three of the passengers, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
