The two sides traded blame for the incident, with each accusing the other of "unprovoked" firing. The Indian army said one of its soldiers was injured in the firing, which a spokesman said lasted five hours, ending early on Saturday morning.
Pakistan said it had lodged a "strong protest" with Indian officials over the "cease-fire violation." Pakistan and India agreed in November 2003 to a cease-fire along, the LoC, before they launched their slow-moving peace talks in January 2004. Since then there have been sporadic clashes and both countries have accused each other of violating the cease-fire.
