India says Kashmir killings' inhuman' However, incursions by troops from either side are rare, and one Indian media report said that Tuesday's incident - about 600 metres from the de facto border - marked the "first major ingress" since the ceasefire was agreed in 2003. Indian army officials said cross-border firing broke out hours after the clash but on Wednesday the LoC was quiet. Pakistan has denied India's allegations, with an army spokesman describing them as "propaganda" aimed at diverting attention away from an Indian incursion two days earlier in which one Pakistani soldier was killed. India denies that its troops crossed over the line during last weekend's incident. A Pakistani foreign ministry official dismissed the latest clash. "These small issues have been going on for years - I don't think it will have much overall effect on the (peace) talks going on," said the official, who asked not to be named. There was little coverage of the skirmish in Pakistani media, but a succession of commentators voiced fury on Indian TV news channels and the main opposition party urged the government to expose Pakistan's actions to the international community. "Pakistan can be named and shamed for this brutal attack," Bharatiya Janata Party leader Arun Jaitley told reporters. India considers the entire Kashmir region of snow-capped mountains and fertile valleys an integral part of its territory. Pakistan contests that and demands implementation of a 1948 U.N. Security Council resolution for a plebiscite to determine the wishes of the Kashmiri people. India and Pakistan have fought three wars since their independence in 1947, two of them over the Himalayan region. Some commentators drew parallels between Tuesday's clash and a conflict in 1999 when Pakistani-backed Islamist infiltrators occupied the Kargil heights in the north of Indian Kashmir. India lost hundreds of troops before reoccupying the mountains after bitter fighting that almost triggered a fourth war.
