| India said Pakistani troops opened fire on a patrol in Kashmir, killing two soldiers and wounding three others in an unprovoked attack. Some of the troops that fired appeared to be regular army soldiers. Pakistan said two civilians were injured by Indian shells in Pak-occupied Kashmir as the two sides exchanged fire at several points along the Line of Control. A teenager was hit by shrapnel and a woman suffered injuries when a shell hit the courtyard of her home. "They are using mortars and targeting the civilian population without any provocation," a Pakistani official said, adding that a school in Kotli district had also been damaged. In Jammu, a group of masked militants barged into a house in Poonch district and opened indiscriminate fire, killing an aged woman on the spot and critically injuring her daughter. Militants fired on several vehicles from mountain peaks on Poonch-Surankote road, wounding two civilians. |
