The clash came just a week after two Pakistan embassy officials were expelled by New Delhi over spying allegations.
At least 50 rebels and 23 soldiers have died since April during outbreaks of fighting in the part of Kashmir controlled by New Delhi, and along the de facto border dividing the disputed Himalayan territory between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan.
A firefight broke out during which the five men were killed, army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia told AFP. Hundreds of villagers gathered on the streets near the firefight, throwing stones at government forces and shouting “Go India, go back”. New Delhi in August revoked the semi-autonomous status of its Jammu and Kashmir state, and imposed a months-long curfew that cut off communications and restricted movement.
