India said four Pakistanis planning an attack on Indian soil were killed, although Indian media and opposition parties disputed the official account. The Pakistani army confirmed two civilian deaths from Indian shelling.
A senior Indian official with the border security force said they had retaliated against machine gun and mortar attacks on about 60 positions along a more than 200-km (125-mile) stretch of the border on Monday.
"Pakistani rangers fired rocket propelled grenades in villages near the border and our men have responded," the officer told Reuters.

ReplyDeleteChina is concerned about the recent flare-up between India and Pakistan on Kashmir border and urged for restraint from both sides, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said on Thursday.
As a neighbor and friend to both Pakistan and India, China hopes the two countries to control the situation through dialogue and consultation, and properly deal with their disputes, said Hong at a regular press briefing.
He called on the two countries to work together to safeguard peace, stability and development in South Asia.
The troops of India and Pakistan have been targeting each other on International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir since the beginning of the new year.
