Pakistan says Indian fire kills 1 soldier in Kashmir
[AlAhram] Pakistain's military said Sunday that Indian troops opened fire across the border in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
, killing one soldier.

In a statement, it said Pak troops responded by targeting the Indian posts where the fire originated, causing ``substantial damage'' on the Indian side but gave no details.

The Indian army said its troops ``befittingly'' responded to Pak firing and shelling along the Line of Control on Saturday in southern Rajouri district. It reported no damage or casualties.

India and Pakistain routinely accused each other of unprovoked attacks along the tense Kashmir frontier in violation of a 2003 cease-fire agreement. Pakistain says India has violated the truce more than 2,000 times this year alone.

Kashmir is split between the nuclear-armed rivals and both claim it in its entirety. They have fought two wars over Kashmir since their independence from British colonial rule in 1947.

Tensions soared in February 2019, when a suicide kaboom killed 40 Indian troops in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, and India retaliated with Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s inside Pak territory. Pakistain shot down one of the warplanes in Kashmir and captured a pilot who was quickly released. India said the strikes targeted Pakistain-based bully boyz responsible for the suicide kaboom

Relations have been further strained since August last year, when India revoked the Moslem-majority region's decades-old semi-autonomous status, touching off anger on both sides of the frontier. Since then, troops have frequently shot it out, leaving dozens of civilians and soldiers dead on both sides.
