India, Pakistan troops exchange fire at border in Kashmir

 

SRINAGAR, India - Indian and Pakistani troops are firing at each other along the border in divided Kashmir, as Indian troops are searching the site of a gunbattle where an Indian paramilitary soldier was killed.

A Pakistani army statement said its troops were responding to unprovoked firing by Indian soldiers on Monday.
