Pakistan’s military says Indian troops killed one villager when they opened fire at Kashmir border

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s military accused India’s troops of opening fire Monday at their disputed border in the Himalayan region of Kashmir and killing one villager who was working in a field on the Pakistani-administered side.

In a statement, the Pakistani military accused Indian troops of “unprovoked firing” in violation of a ceasefire agreement. There was no immediate reaction from Indian officials.

The ceasefire between Pakistan has largely been holding since 2021 when the two sides agreed to adhere to a 2003 accord that previously had been ignored, with civilian and troop deaths on both sides.

Pakistan and India have a history of bitter relations. Since gaining independence from British rule in 1947, the two sides have fought two of their three wars over Kashmir, which is split between them but claimed by both in its entirety.
