Indian troop fired across the de facto border in the disputed Himalaya region of Kashmir, killing a Pakistani soldier in the latest flare between the nuclear rivals, Pakistan's army said Sunday. An Indian army spokesman Indian force had been fired at first. Relations between the neighbors have fought three wars since 1947, went into a freezer after the Pakistan-based militants attack the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008, killing 166 people. But the countries' prime ministers met on the sidelines of a regional conference in Bhutan last month and agreed to get negotiations started again to resolve their disputes. The Pakistani army said Indian troops opened "gratuitous" fire over the so-called Line of Control (LOC) - sharing Kashmir between India and Pakistan - in the Battal sector of Rawalakot district of Pakistan, killing one soldier. |
