SRINAGAR, India - India said Monday that Pakistani troops crossed into its part of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir and opened fire. Indian troops returned fire, and at least four soldiers were killed.
Indian army spokesman Brig. Gopala Krishnan Murali called the attack a "brazen violation of cease-fire."
One Indian soldier died and "three or four" Pakistani soldiers were killed in "retaliatory fire" in the Kupwara area of the region, Murali said.
