Kashmir border: India says Pakistani soldier killed
The Indian army says that its troops have killed a Pakistani soldier who strayed over the border in the disputed territory of Kashmir on Thursday.
He was killed in a gun battle after the Indian army opened fire when it detected "suspicious movement", it says. Two Indian soldiers were wounded.
Last month several deadly cross-border attacks plunged the neighbours into the worst crisis in relations in years.
Claimed by both countries, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for over 60 years.
