Indian forces fired across the de facto border in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, killing a Pakistani soldier in the latest flare-up between the two countries, the Pakistani army said on Sunday. Reuters quoted An Indian army spokesman as saying that Indian forces had been fired at first. The Pakistani army said Indian forces opened "unprovoked" fire across the so-called Line of Control (LoC) -- which divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan -- in the Battal sector of Pakistan's Rawalakot district, killing one soldier. "Intermittent firing is continuing in the sector," the army said in a statement. A strong protest had been lodged with India and an immediate meeting of commanders in the area had been demanded.
