An Indian soldier strayed across the de-facto border with Pakistan on Thursday, an army source said amid rising tensions following a “surgical strike” India said it carried out against “terror launchpads”. One soldier from 37 Rashtriya Rifles with weapons has inadvertently crossed over to the other side of the Line of Control, the source said. Two officials based in Pakistan’s Chhamb’s sector told Reuters the Indian soldier with weapons was captured at 1.30pm local time. Citing security sources, Dawn said the killings occurred when the Indian Army opened fire across the border, killing two Pakistani soldiers. The army source, however, denied reports of the killing of Indian soldiers at the LoC.
