Indian army says new exchange of gunfire with Pakistan

Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged gunfire overnight along the Line of Control (LOC) that separates the two countries in contested Kashmir for a second day running, the Indian army said Saturday.

India's army said "unprovoked" small arms firing was carried out by "multiple" Pakistan army posts "all across the Line of Control in Kashmir" overnight from Friday to Saturday.

"Indian troops responded appropriately with small arms," it said in a statement. "No casualties reported."
