Renewed fighting in Kashmir kills six as Pakistan and India exchange fire

‘Indian and Pakistani forces have again exchanged fire along Kashmir’s Line of Control (LoC), with reports saying six people have been killed on the two sides of the border.
The director general of Pakistan’s military operations, Maj. Gen. Sahir Shamshad Mirza, said Monday that Indian forces had attacked a Pakistani military vehicle traveling along the LoC, the de facto border that separates the two parts of Kashmir between the nuclear-armed neighbors. Shamshad Mirza said that four soldiers were killed in the attack.
Indian authorities denied the report, saying forces deployed in the Rajouri sector of Indian-administered Kashmir had returned fire after Pakistani troops fired mortar shells and automatic weapons into the area.
Indian army spokesman Lt. Col. Manish Mehta said a soldier died at a hospital after being wounded in the attack. The official condemned Pakistan’s shelling as an unprovoked violation of a 2003 ceasefire.’
