According to the NDTV broadcaster, one Indian soldier was killed and two injured as a result of the cross-border shooting in the area of Naushera.

Kashmir has been disputed between India and Pakistan since the partition of India in 1947. The two countries have had three wars over the region, but the conflict has not been resolved.

The recent escalation of violence across the India-Pakistan border came after 19 Indian soldiers died as a result of the September 18 attack by armed militants on a base outside of Srinagar, the capital of India-administered Kashmir.
