India kills Pak soldier at LoC
ISLAMABAD: Indian firing killed a Pakistani soldier and wounded another on Saturday in Kashmir, the army said.
Oops. Our bad.
The Indian troops staged an “unprovoked” attack across the Line of Control (LOC). “A soldier embraced martyrdom while another was seriously injured due to unprovoked firing by Indian troops in Rawalakot area at the Line of Control (LoC),” the Pakistan Army said in a statement.

A Foreign Office spokesman in a statement said it was unfortunate that such an incident took place at a time when the two governments were making sincere efforts towards improving relations for resolution of all outstanding disputes.

“Pakistan calls upon the government of India to carry out a thorough investigation into this grave incident and to ensure that such occurrences do not take place,” the spokesman said in the statement.

On the other hand, the Indian army claimed it had fired in a “calibrated manner” in response to Pakistani firing. “Pakistani troops started firing unprovoked in the morning, firing rocket-propelled grenades, heavy machinegun fire and small arms,” Indian defence spokesman Colonel RK Palta told AFP.

“Our side retaliated in a calibrated manner and there were no casualties on our side,” he said, adding he had no comment on Islamabad’s statement that Indian firing had caused Pakistani casualties.
