Jammu: Pakistan and India traded fire, leaving seven people dead — three Pakistani soldiers, a Pakistani villager, an Indian woman and a girl and a paramilitary trooper, officials said on Tuesday.
The fatalities were some of the highest since tensions flared between the rival nuclear-armed nations after killing of 40 CRPF men in Pulwama attack in February.
Pakistan’s military said Indian troops targeted its military positions overnight in the border town of Rakhchakri in Pakistani-controlled part of Kashmir. One soldier was also injured in the clash, said to a statement from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the army’s media wing. “The Pakistan army responded effectively. [There are] reports of casualties on the Indian side,” the statement added.
