The armies of India and Pakistan have reached an agreement to "de-escalate" military tensions along the disputed border of Kashmir after a recent flare-up in violence.
Jagdeep Dahiya, spokesman for the Indian army, said an "understanding has been arrived at between the two director-generals of military operations to de-escalate the situation along the Line of Control" (LoC), on Wednesday.
He said senior military commanders for both nations had spoken for 10 minutes over the phone before they reached their agreement and that the Pakistani director-general had said strict instructions have been passed not to violate
the ceasefire".
Dahiya said Indian troops stationed along the border would also not breach the ceasefire forged between the two nuclear-armed rivals in 2003.
"We have always upheld the ceasefire and have only retaliated," the spokesman said.
The Pakistani military confirmed that the telephone conversation between the two commanders took place.
It added in a statement that "Pakistan lodged strong protest" over the killing of one of its soldiers on Tuesday night.
India did not confirm the killing but said that if a soldier had died it could have been from Indian gunfire in response to
shots from Pakistan.
