Suspected militants have attacked an Indian army camp in Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir, officials said.

Three Border Security Force (BSF) personnel were injured in the attack, which began at 04:00 local time (22:30 GMT Monday).

Authorities say security forces continue to exchange gunfire with the attackers.

The camp is located just outside the international airport in Srinagar - a heavily fortified area.

The attackers are still on the camp's premises, holed up in a building, according to BSF officials.

Police have called it a suicide attack and also say that one body, suspected to be that of one of the attackers, has been found so far, the Press Trust of India reported.
