Kashmir clash: Pakistan says India killed seven troops

Seven Pakistani soldiers have been killed by Indian shelling in disputed Kashmir, the Pakistani military says.
The troops died in "unprovoked" firing overnight in the Bhimber sector on the Line of Control (LoC). India blamed Pakistan for starting the clash.
It is thought to be the Pakistani military's biggest single loss of life in Kashmir since a 2003 truce.
Tensions have flared over



the long-running dispute since an Indian army base was attacked in September.
Both India and Pakistan accuse each other of violating the 2003 ceasefire agreement.
Both sides have reported civilians and a number of soldiers being killed or injured in recent weeks, during which time the LoC has seen intense exchanges of fire.
Hundreds of civilians in villages along the LoC have been evacuated.
