                Indian Troops Kill Pakistani Soldier in Kashmir

   by VOA News

   Pakistan's military says troops from neighboring India have raided a
   Pakistani military post on the Kashmir border, killing one Pakistani
   soldier and critically wounding another.
   Pakistan said Sunday it successfully repulsed the Indian forces
   attacking the Sawan Patra checkpoint.
   The two sides exchanged fire across the Line of Control,  which divides
   the Indian and Pakistani sides of disputed Kashmir.  It has been a
   flashpoint of violence between the two neighbors for decades.
   Kashmir is claimed in full by India and Pakistan.  Since 1989, various
   Muslim separatist groups have been fighting for Kashmir's independence
   from Hindu-majority India or for a merger with Muslim-majority
   Pakistan.
   The nuclear-armed neighbors have fought two wars over the Himalayan
   region since gaining independence from Britain in 1947.
   Some information for this report provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
