Seven people including three members of a family were killed in fresh separatist violence in India’s Jammu and Kashmir state, police said on Friday.

Earlier, police said two Indian soldiers were killed and five wounded when their vehicle ran over a land mine at Wangam, a village south of Srinagar, on Thursday evening. “The vehicle was completely destroyed in the mine explosion.
