A soldier who was injured in an exchange of fire between Pakistani and Indian troops along the Line of Control on Wednesday evening succumbed to his injuries, the Indian military said today.
Colonel SD Goswami, a spokesman for the Indian Army accused Pakistani troops of opening “unprovoked fire” at Indian positions in the Poonch sector along the LoC, some 200 kilometres southwest of Srinagar.
“Pakistani troops violated the ceasefire again during which our soldier was injured who died later,” Goswami told AFP, adding that the Indian side had returned fire.
