2 Killed 4 Wounded in Kashmir Firefights Between India and Pakistan

Soldiers guard the border

Fire was exchanged twice across the Kashmir border, on Thursday.

In the first exchange, in the Rakhchakri sector, a Pakistani soldier was killed and two Indian civilians were wounded.

The second exchange took place in the Tatta Pani sector, killing another Pakistani soldier and injuring two more.

Both Pakistan and India accuse each other of starting the firing and say that they then responded in defense.

Exchanges of fire have become more and more common over the past few months. 

This has put an increasing strain on relations between the two countries.
