Pakistan says India killed seven troops in Kashmir

The Pakistani military accused India on Monday of killing seven soldiers in cross-border fire in disputed Kashmir, in what appeared to be an unusually high toll after months of surging tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours. Following the incident Pakistan summoned the Indian High Commissioner to protest the killing of the soldiers. "The Foreign Secretary deplored the increasing Indian ceasefire violations at the LoC and the Working Boundary, especially in the last two months," said a statement issued by the foreign office.
