Three Pakistani soldiers were killed after Indian troops responded to unprovoked firing from the other side of the Line of Control, the de facto border between the two countries, in Jammu and Kashmir
on Monday.
The Pakistani army's publicity wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), posted on its website that Indian soldiers killed three Pakistani troopers "in act of unprovoked fire".
"India initiated unprovoked ceasefire violation along LoC at Rakhchikri, Rawlakot sector. Three soldiers embraced shahadat (died).One injured," the post reads. The Rawlakote sector is in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
The Indian military denied the allegation, saying the soldiers probably died in counter-fire.
Pakistan army had killed an Indian army officer and two soldiers in the Keri sector along the LoC in Rajouri district on Saturday afternoon.
