Indian media reports claim the men were linked to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, but there is no official confirmation.
Indian security forces have killed three suspected rebels in India-administered Kashmir during fighting in a national park, the military says.
The incident occurred on Monday in the mountains of Dachigam, about 30km (18 miles) east of the disputed region’s main city of Srinagar.
“Three terrorists have been neutralised in an intense firefight,” the Indian army said in a statement on social media. “Operation continues.”
Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947, and the South Asian nuclear powers, which both claim Kashmir in full, have fought three wars over its control.
