Pakistan soldier in Kashmir 'killed by Indian troops'

A Pakistani soldier has been killed by Indian troops near the dividing line in the disputed territory of Kashmir, Pakistan's military says.

The soldier was killed by Indian firing across the Line of Control (LoC), which divides Kashmir, it says.

It is the third such incident in five days, following the deaths of two Indian soldiers on Tuesday and a Pakistani soldier on Sunday.

Claimed by both countries, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for over 60 years.
