Pakistani soldier killed by Indian troops

The Indian army says that its troops have killed a Pakistani soldier who strayed over the border in the disputed territory of Kashmir on Thursday. He was killed in a gun battle after the Indian army opened fire when it detected “suspicious movement”, it says. Two Indian soldiers were wounded, the BBC reported. Last month several deadly cross-border attacks plunged the neighbours into the worst crisis in relations in years. Claimed by both countries, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for over 60 years. The Indian army said the incident happened in the Nowshera sector. Pakistani army sources had also reported firing along the line of control (LoC) in the Kotli area but it is unclear if that was related.
