Alwaght- Pakistan's military on Tuesday accused neighboring India of resorting to what it called "unprovoked firing" following the killing a Pakistani soldier in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
In a statement, the military said Pakistani troops responded after coming under attack in Pakistan's part of Kashmir. The statement did not contain more details on the incident.
An Indian army officer claimed that Pakistani troops had initiated the exchange of fire, saying that Indian troops returned fire and that there were no casualties on the Indian side.
The latest exchange took place in the same area of Kashmir where Pakistani fire on Sunday killed an Indian soldier, said the officer, speaking on condition of anonymity because as he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
Clashes occur frequently between the two sides, which regularly blame each other for instigation.
Tuesday's incident came days after Pakistani border officers met with their Indian counterparts in New Delhi to discuss how to avoid skirmishes, which also cause civilian casualties on both sides.
The Muslim-majority region of Kashmir has been the scene of violent clashes in recent years. Indian army soldiers are in constant clashes with the fighters seeking independence in the troubled region.
Tensions have been high between the two nuclear-armed rivals since a meeting between their national security advisors was cancelled recently. India said the meeting should solely include discussions about terrorism, but Pakistan wanted the issue of Kashmir also included.
The two nuclear-armed archrivals have a history of uneasy relations and regularly exchange fire over the highly militarized Line of Control.
Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan, but claimed in full by both, since the two countries gained independence from Britain in 1947.
The two countries have fought two of their three wars over their competing claims to Kashmir, though a 2003 ceasefire has largely held despite small but regular firefights.
