INDIA: New Delhi accused Pakistani soldiers today of using mortars and automatic gunfire overnight to kill two Indian soldiers on the Kashmir Line of Control border.

Pakistan’s strike at Indian positions in the Sunderbani sector violated the ceasefire accord of 2003, said Indian army spokesman Colonel Nitin Joshi.

Col Joshi called the Pakistani firing and shelling “unprovoked and indiscriminate” and said Indian soldiers retaliated “strongly and effectively.”
