Indian troops fire at Pakistani post in disputed Kashmir
Updated
Pakistan says Indian forces fired on its troops deployed at a forward post along the de-facto border dividing Kashmir between the two countries.
Pakistani troops fired back in retaliation but there was no immediate report of casualties in the exchange.
The Indian army confirmed an incident on the heavily militarised border but said its troops had fired at suspected Islamic militant infiltrators and not Pakistani troops.
The incident, at Battal in Rawalakot sector on the Line of Control, was a rare violation of a ceasefire signed between Pakistan and India in November 2003.
