INDIAN troops fired across the disputed Kashmir border and killed a Pakistani soldier today, Pakistan's military said, the third deadly incident in the disputed Himalayan region in recent days.
Pakistan said the shooting was unprovoked, while the Indian military said its troops responded to fire from soldiers across the frontier.
The tit-for-tat fighting threatens to reverse recent progress Pakistan and India have made in improving their historically antagonistic relationship. The two countries have fought three major wars since they achieved independence from British India in 1947, two of them over Kashmir.The Pakistani army said the latest incident occurred when Indian troops fired at a post in an area of Pakistan-held Kashmir called Battal, killing a soldier named Havildar Mohyuddin. Pakistan said the shooting was "unprovoked."
But the Indian military said its troops responded after Pakistani soldiers fired on their positions.
"Our troops retaliated and an intermittent exchange of gunfire is continuing," said Indian army spokesman Col. R.K. Palta. "It's yet another ceasefire violation by the Pakistani troops."
