Army: Pakistani killed by fire from Indian Kashmir

Pakistan's army says a soldier has been fatally shot in Pakistan's portion of Kashmir by fire from India's side of the disputed Himalayan region. The army statement says intermittent firing continued after the soldier was shot Sunday in Rawla Kot.


Indian and Pakistani troops have observed a truce in Kashmir since November 2003. However, there have been isolated shooting incidents in the past. India and Pakistan have fought two wars over control of Kashmir, a territory claimed by both in its entirety, since their independence from Britain in 1947. (AP)
