Which of these statements is/are correct?

Statement 2 is correct: The Huns (Hepthalites) did invade and occupy parts of northern India including Kashmir during the early 6th century AD. Statement 3 is incorrect: There was no 'Ujjain Empire' - Ujjain was a prominent city under various empires (Mauryan, Shaka, Gupta) but not an empire itself ruling Kashmir.
