Five Indian soldiers were killed in an attack along the disputed border in Jammu and Kashmir, the state chief minister Omar Abdullah claimed on Tuesday.
“Was briefed early this morning about news that 5 of our soldiers had been killed on the LoC. My heartfelt condolences to their next of kin,” Abdullah said in a Tweet, referring to the Line of Control dividing the two countries in the region.
“There was no indiscriminate firing from our side,” one Pakistani security official said
Another official also denied there had been an exchange of fire on the border between the nuclear powers. Both the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to media.
