Pakistani troops on Sunday near an Indian border post and opened unprovoked fire, killing two soldiers and wounding three others, India's Border Security Force said.
The post is located at Bain Galahar, 40 kilometers southwest of Jammu, winter
capital of India's Jammu-Kashmir state.
"They came right up to the post and opened fire at our patrol," a spokesman of the Border Security Force said on customary condition of anonymity.
“They could be Pakistani rangers. But there appeared to be some regular army men," he said over the telephone.
"This was an unprovoked action. We have taken serious note of it."
